Processing of Hemp Fibre Using Enzyme/Fungal Treatment for Composites
Hemp fibres compete very well with glass fibres in terms of their specific strength and stiffness and so can replace glass fibres as reinforcement in composites. Combining them with thermoplastics results in potentially cheap recyclable composite materials. The adhesion between the hemp fibre and …

Bio-composites materials from engineered natural fibres for structural applications
… in natural fibre composites. Harakeke and hemp fibres, amongst other natural fibres, possess respectable mechanical properties along with other advantages such as low cost, low production energy requirements and abundant availability. Polylactic acid (PLA), a sustainable alternative to …

Cultivation of Industrial Fibre Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) in Iceland. How can we produce high-quality long fibre for use in textile applications?
Though hemp possesses high-quality fibres that are valuable for the production of fine-quality yarns, and signs of hemp cultivation have been traced to about 8,000 years ago, long hemp fibres are not yet commercially manufactured into fine, thin yarns. But a renewed interest in this newly legal …

Improving the performance of polypropylene matrix composite materials using engineered hemp fibre mats
… to compete for future use. Amongst natural fibres, hemp fibres are an attractive alternative reinforcement to synthetic fibres due to their favourable mechanical properties as well as availability. Additionally, compared to other natural fibres, hemp fibres are more valuable for the …

Mechanical Performance of Industrial Hemp Fibre Reinforced Polylactide and Unsaturated Polyester Composites
… on the mechanical properties of industrial hemp fibre reinforced polylactide (PLA) and unsaturated polyester (UPE) composites. Surface treatment of hemp fibres was investigated as a means of improving the fibre/matrix interfacial strength and mechanical properties of hemp fibre reinforced …

DEVELOPMENT OF NEW COLD BITUMEN EMULSION MIXTURES AND FINITE ELEMENT MODELLING OF PREDICTING PERMANENT DEFORMATION
… impact response of using natural and synthetic fibres as reinforcing materials, on the mechanical properties and water susceptibility of CBEM including indirect tensile stiffness and resistance to rutting, cracking and moisture damage. Four different types of fibres were used: glass as a …

Harakeke fibre as reinforcement in epoxy matrix composites and its hybridisation with hemp fibre
… reduced due to the availability of synthetic fibres midcentury and competition from other natural fibres such as sisal and flax. Now, harakeke plants are planted mainly for landscaping with some fibre extracted from harakeke leaves used for craft goods and traditional products of Maori people …
