Analysis of gene mutation in plant cell wall by dielectric relaxation [PDF]
, 2012 Arabidopsis Thaliana is a plant composed mainly of cellulose and lignin. Geneticists need techniques able to make differences at the molecular level between modified plants (DML6, CAD C/D) and non-modified ones.

Enhanced Modeling of Water Diffusion in Natural Fibers: Application to Diss Fibers
Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022 Water diffusion through natural fibers represents an important aspect with regard to the integrity of biocomposites. Usually, diffusion model is defined assuming circular fiber cross-sections, while microscopic analysis findings revealed other geometries.

Resol-vegetable fibers composites
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.
