Plant population effects on fiber hemp growth and yield in Southeastern United States
Agronomy Journal, Volume 118, Issue 3, May/June 2026.Abstract Fiber hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) has gained renewed interest in the United States as a bast fiber crop used in textiles, nonwovens, and composite materials. Region‐specific production practices are limited due to the crops relatively recent legal status.

Optimizing biomass use for carbon storage and land use with the OptiBiU model
Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 1641-1652, May/June 2026.Abstract Optimal biomass use in a circular bioeconomy requires a system perspective to guide decision‐making. The Optimizing Biomass Use (OptiBiU) model was developed for this purpose. The model distinguishes among primary biomass production, intermediate products, and biobased products, and incorporates recycling.

Hierarchical Modeling of Archaeological and Modern Flax Fiber: From Micro- to Macroscale
FibersFlax fiber reinforcements weaken with aging and microstructural changes, limiting their applications. Here, we examine the effects of microstructure and aging on flax fiber elements’ performance by using 4000-year-old and modern Egyptian flax as ...

European Journal of Lipid Science and Technology, Volume 128, Issue 5, May 2026.Flax varieties differ in growth, oil quality, and beneficial compounds, but these differences are not always clear‐cut. In this study, 10 flax types were grown under the same conditions and compared for plant traits, natural compounds, and oil content. Some showed high omega‐3 and lignan levels, making them valuable for healthier foods and future crop ...

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.MnO2‐coated OPEFB fibers produced via a simple wet process showed smoother surfaces and significantly reduced water absorption in fiber cement composites, enhancing moisture resistance. ABSTRACT The use of natural fibers in cement‐based composites is increasingly encouraged as a sustainable alternative to synthetic fibers; however, their inherent ...

Kinetic, products and shrinkage for the pyrolysis of flax fibers
Journal of Analytical and Applied PyrolysisBiomass pyrolysis is a thermochemical process used for renewable products and energies. However, there are still issues that need to be addressed for process modeling and optimization. This study focuses on the relationship between heating rate, shrinkage, and products from flax fibers using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), microscopic observation ...
