The partial replacement of petroleum-derived plastics and composites by novel bio-based
materials from inexpensive, renewable, natural resources has the potential to greatly impact …

Matrix/fiber interfacial bonding, is one of the most significant issues that needed to be
addressed, for the wider acceptance of natural fiber reinforced composites to outdoor …

Woven and nonwoven flax fiber reinforced poly lactic acid (PLA) biocomposites were
prepared with amphiphilic additives as accelerator for biodegradation. The prepared …

Presently, scientists and researchers are in an endless quest to develop green, recyclable,
and eco-friendly materials. Natural fibre reinforced polymer composites became popular …

The objective of this work was to study the biodegradability of polylactic acid (PLA)/paddy
straw powder (PSP) biocomposites. Environmental degradation was evaluated by …

Green composites made of bioplastics reinforced with natural fibers have gained
considerable attention over recent years. However, the use of natural fibers in composites …

Abstract Polylactide (PLA)/starch blend/clay and PLA/clay composites are prepared by melt
blending. Structural and thermal characterizations are performed by differential scanning …

The article reports on the successful processing of flax-reinforced poly (lactic acid)(PLA)
profiles by thermoplastic pultrusion into 'sandwich'structures consisting of commingled yarns …

Abstract Bio-composites (FF-PFA-D) were successfully compression moulded by reinforcing
polyfurfuryl alcohol (PFA) with 10 layers of woven flax fabric (FF). FF-reinforced PFA-based …

Bacterial cellulose (BC) can be used as an efficient reinforcement material in biopolymers. In
this study, the surface of flax fabric was used as a support material to deposit BC on its …
