Resol-vegetable fibers composites [PDF]
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2000 Vegetable fibers like cotton, sisal, and sugar cane bagasse have been used as reinforcement in a polymeric matrix. Because of its low cost and affinity with lignocellulosic fibers, a phenol-formaldehyde resin —resol— was selected as the matrix. Composites were prepared by compression molding.

Product development using vegetable fibers [PDF]
International Journal of Design & Nature and Ecodynamics, 2014 This article is a comprehensive review on the mechanical and tribological behavior of four plant fi bers (hemp, kenaf, coconut and broom) and the products design made based on these plant fi bers. The treatments and the chemical and physical characteristics of these types of plant fi bers are investigated to understand the applications in design fi eld.
