## Abstract Whole hop bines (HBs), the peeled outer bark (OB) of HBs, and fibers chemically extracted from hop bark (HFs) were used as reinforcements to make lightweight composites with polypropylene (PP) webs or fibers as the matrix materials. Using discarded HBs for composites not only increases

## Abstract New composites based on poly(propylene) as polymer matrix and hemp strands as natural reinforcement have been developed by injectionβmolding. The materials were previously mixed in a two roll mill to induce the dispersion of the fiber inside the polymer. To improve the adhesion between
Three-ply composite laminates prepared from E-glass or N-glass chopped strand mats (CSMs) and jute (J) fabrics as reinforcing agents and amine-cured epoxy resin as the matrix material were subjected to dynamic mechanical thermal analysis at a fixed frequency of 1 Hz over a temperature range of 30-18
