The fatigue behavior of hemp-fiber–reinforced High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
composites is investigated using fatigue-life (S–N) curves at different fiber volume fractions …

The use of polymer-based composites has been gaining popularity in the industry over the
last few decades. Their high strength to weight ratio and high fatigue resistance make these …

This paper describes different technologies used for manufacturing nonwoven fabrics from
flax fibers and flax waste. It has been seen that carding, air-laying, and wet-laid techniques …

A major challenge for natural fibre composites is to achieve high mechanical performance at
a competitive price. Composites constructed from unidirectional yarns and woven fabrics are …

In an attempt to increase the biodiversity of natural fibers, new sources of natural fibers
should be discovered. Long textile-grade date palm (DP) fibers were used in the …

Composite materials using natural fibers (NFs) are of increasing interest due to their carbon
neutrality, high strength, lightness, and biodegradability. However, when NFs are applied as …

Natural fibres are emerging as low cost, lightweight and environmentally superior
alternatives to glass fibre in composites. Plant variety, climate conditions and extraction …
