A study on the use of indigenous New Zealand plant fibres for producing biomorphic hydroxyapatite fibres and chars used in reinforcing biomedical hydroxyapatite sourced from cattle bone
… animal derived hydroxyapatite (HAp) with natural plant fibres. The study was divided into two sections, a major section and a minor section. The major section describes animal derived hydroxyapatite (HAp)-char composites containing low weight percent additions of two different types of plant chars …

Softbuilt : computational textiles and augmenting space through emotion
… architecture, textiles made of animal skins or plant fibres were probably used to make the first shelters, as both protective clothing and enclosing space. As a liminal space between the body and environment these textiles became places of exchange and communication of information between people …

Characterization of natural fibre reinforced biodegradable composities
… and high specific strength of natural fibres make them a good replacement for synthetic fibre such as glass in fibre reinforced plastics (FRP). Green and ecofriendly source of these fibres offer less reliance on oil sources. However, their moisture uptake ability, low thermal stability …

Modelling environmental effects on fracture damage of natural fibre-reinforced polymer composites
… conducted included tensile tests on single sisal fibres, neat cured polyester resin, and sisal fibre reinforced polyester composite test specimens. Retention of fracture strength of the composite was further assessed both at macro and micro levels. The assessment of the fracture toughness …
