In this review, the potential of natural fiber and kenaf fiber (KF) reinforced PLA composite
filament for fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D-printing technology is highlighted. Additive …

The main objective of this study was to produce aligned hemp fibre mats from high strength
hemp fibres using dynamic sheet forming (DSF). Alkali treatment of hemp fibre was carried …

Conventional composite materials reinforced with continuous fibres display high specific
strength but have a number of drawbacks including: the elastic-brittle behaviour, difficulties …

The main goal of this study was to improve the mechanical performance of polypropylene
(PP) matrix composites through high hemp fibre content. In order to achieve high fibre …

Oriented short hemp fibre mats were produced using dynamic sheet forming (DSF)
incorporating cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) to improve their integrity. The CNCs were found …

The main objective of this study was to improve the orientation of fibres within the mats
produced using dynamic sheet forming (DSF). DSF is used to make fibre mats by forcing a …

Within the scope of extrusion based additive manufacturing, this chapter provides a review
of the research in understanding the physical relationships between microstructure variables …

The characterization of the two-dimensional (2D) leaf sheath of the coconut palm Cocos
nucifera from digital images is part of a research project that focuses on the feasibility of …

Projections of continuing demand for materials across the world is driving the development
of more sustainable materials. The low energy consumption requirements, as well as …

The automotive industry is under increasing pressure to produce light weight and
