Effect of fungal deterioration on physical and mechanical properties of hemp and flax natural fiber composites

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Bryn Crawford et al. from the Composites Research Network-Okanagan Node, School of Engineering, University of British Columbia have published the paper: Effect of Fungal Deterioration on Physical and Mechanical Properties of Hemp and Flax Natural Fiber Composites, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
• what: This study attempts to better understand the nature of microorganism-based biodeterioration of NFRC. Both the hemp and flax fibers that were the focus of this study, which were reinforced with polypropylene as a thermoplastic matrix, showed clear signs of biodegradation.
• how: Showed that fungal growth significantly affects the . . .
