This chapter discusses the use of natural fibres (including hemp) in reinforcing temperature-hardened materials such as plastics. These materials have attracted interest from the nautical, automobile and aeronautic industries because of the 15-20% weight improvement they offer when compared to glass fibre.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
