slightly lower of fibre volume fraction with the value of 0.28 and 0.31, respectively.

From the literature, the typical fibre volume fraction for natural fibres was between 20
to 40 % and it was highly dependent on the geometric parameters of the fibre

arrangement within the fibrous structure, orientation and the spacing between fibres
[140].
