Intrusive growth of sclerenchyma fibers [PDF]

, 2010
Intrusive growth is a type of cell elongation when the rate of its longitudinal growth is higher than that of surrounding cells; therefore, these cells intrude between the neighboring cells penetrating the middle lamella.

Modification and Characterization of Hemp and Sisal Fibers

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2014
This work is to investigate the effectiveness of the surface treatment technique of fiber impregnation in polymer solution in improving compatibility of natural fibers with matrix. Hemp and sisal fibers were treated through polymer coating in comparison to acetylation, alkalization/acetylation, and silanization.

Comparative Evaluation of Structure–Processing–Property Relationships in Flax, Hemp, and Cattail Discontinuous fiber Thermoset Composites

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Needle punching reorients fibers from in‐plane direction toward z‐direction of the web, resulting in mechanical interlocking of fibers and reduction in the nonwoven mat thickness. ABSTRACT Replacement of glass fiber mats, utilized in large and complex composite parts in the transportation industry, with natural fiber mats requires knowledge of natural ...

Short-Term Durability of Hemp Fibers

Procedia Engineering, 2017
Abstract Short-term durability tests on hemp-fiber confined concrete cylinders made up of one layer of hemp-fiber bundles were conducted to study their behavior. Compression test was performed after wetting and drying cycles in both water and seawater. Moreover, uniaxial tension test on hemp-fiber bundles was conducted to study the effect of extended
