Evaluating the Properties of Native and Modified Milkweed Floss for Applications as a Reinforcing Fiber

The use of natural fibers is a sustainable alternative for developing reinforced-polymer composites. It is believed that the seed flosses of common milkweed, Asclepias Syriraca, may be a promising reinforcing fiber given its uncommon hollow microstructure that is associated with both high specific p...
