Abstract
The use of natural fibers as reinforcing filler in thermoplastics is a relatively new application and has great potential in replacing glass fiber products in automotive industry. However, most of the research in this area has been focused primarily on flax fiber. In the first part of the work presented here, hemp fiber non-woven mats are used exclusively in combination with a poly(propylene) matrix to study the mechanical properties of natural...
