The water absorption rate (w SB f sb ) as a function of the immersion time (t) was calculated as follows: (1) Graph HT ht Three tests were carried out for each type of fiber with a coefficient of variation not exceeding 10%.

[3]; Célino et al. [8]; Guo et al. [13]; Guo and Wu [14]). [Extracted from the article]
