... The water absorption causes the detachment between the fiber and the matrix due to the high susceptibility of the fibers to absorb it, causing a significant decrease in the mechanical properties of the composite. This occurs due to the polar and hydrophilic nature because of the existence of non-cellulosic components, such as lignin and hemicellulose, which promote water absorption due to the functional groups such as hydroxyl (OH) and carboxylic acids [79,111]. ...
