Recently, there has been a rapid growth in research and innovation in the natural fibre
composite (NFC) area. Interest is warranted due to the advantages of these materials …

The development of high-performance engineering products made from natural resources is
increasing worldwide, due to renewable and environmental issues. Among the many …

Bio-based hybrid green composites in unidirectional configuration were prepared by using
kenaf, bamboo and coir fibers to reinforce polylactic acid (PLA) polymer matrix. Three types …

In this work, kenaf fibers were pre-treated in a NaOH solution (6% in weight) at room
temperature for two different periods (48 and 144 h). The chemical treatment of kenaf fibers …

The non-wood plants became an alternative solution or source of fibrous material in this
millennium due to increasing population and industrialization along with better education. In …

In this review, insight into the use of bio-based fibers as composite reinforcement has been
addressed. Specifics on the varieties of natural fibers, and the resultant properties from their …

Polylactide (PLA) is known as one of the most promising biopolymers as it is derived from
renewable feedstock and can be biodegraded. During the last two decades, it moved more …

The important industrial problem of slow crystallization of poly (l-lactide)(PLLA) is addressed
by the use of cellulose nanocrystals as biobased nucleation reagents. Cellulose …

Electrospun fibrous bio-nanocomposite scaffolds reinforced with cellulose nanocrystals
(CNCs) were fabricated by using maleic anhydride (MAH) grafted poly (lactic acid)(PLA) as …

Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) and polypropylene (PP) were comparatively investigated as matrices
for injection-moulded composites containing small (1–3 wt%) amounts of short sisal fibre …
