The Application of Bio-Based Composites in Load-Bearing Structures: A research into the possibilities, properties and the durability of flax fibre reinforced bio-based composites

An increasing environmental concern and a growing interest of environmentally friendly and renewable materials is driving the growth of the bio-based composite sector. From 2010 to 2020, it is expected that the use of natural fibres as a reinforcement in composites will be doubled. Bio-based composites are already widely applied within the...
