Breakthroughs in materials science are the driving force behind many of today's industrial
advancements in our fast-changing high-tech world. Composite materials have proven …

Bamboo is a naturally available, fast growing and renewable resource. Bamboo plants are
found all over the world in tropical and non-tropical regions. Asia pacific region is specifically …

The influence of wood components and cellulose crystallinity on the thermal degradation
behavior of different wood species has been investigated using thermogravimetry, chemical …

In this study, the relationship between wood cellulose crystallinity, influence of extractives on
wood degradation, correlation between chemical composition, and physical properties of …

Natural fiber/high-density polyethylene (HDPE) composites (NFPCs) were fabricated via
extrusion using three types of natural fibers from poplar wood (PW), radiata pine (RP), and …

Pineapple leaf is a source of high quality natural fiber but is left underutilized. Pineapple leaf
fiber (PALF) has many potential applications similar to other natural fibers such as plastic …

This research aims to evaluate the application of technological efficiency to industrial waste,
in the production of wood plastic composite. The raw materials used were sawdust from …

Natural fibres from miscanthus and bamboo were added to poly (lactic acid) by twin-screw
extrusion. The influence of extruder screw speed and of total feeding rate was studied first …

The purpose of current work is to examine the influence of microcrystalline cellulose fibre on
PLA/LLDPE polyblend and their characterization by the XRD, FESEM, TEM, DSC, POM and …

Because wood–plastic composites (WPC) strength relies on fiber-matrix interaction at fiber
surface, it is likely that fiber surface chemistry plays an important role in WPC strength …
