Chemical Modification of Hemp Shives and their Characterization [PDF]
Procedia Engineering, 2012 AbstractLightweight lignocellulosic composites are potentially contributing to sustainable development. However, lignocellulosic fillers are not always fully compatible with an inorganic matrix, which causes a variety of adverse outcomes such as the coherence and mechanical properties of composites.

An Impact of Moisture on Thermal State of Flax and Hemp Shives Thermal Insulations. [PDF]
Materials (Basel)Plant-based materials exhibit different moisture absorption properties than synthetic materials. In the case of synthetic fibrous insulation, the effect of moisture on thermal conductivity can be relatively easily determined based on the mass fraction of moisture in the material’s skeleton.
