Paper is a widely used packaging material and is nowadays regaining importance, eg, as
bio-based and biodegradable material. Moreover, new technologies such as polymer–fiber …

This paper studies failure of birch pulp–polylactic acid composites. Stiffness and strength are
calculated using the theory of short fibre composites and the results are compared to …

This article presents a microscale modelling approach coupled with X-ray computed micro-
tomography for the evaluation of material properties of polylactic acid (PLA) reinforced by …

Natural cellulose fibres have the advantage of being renewable, generally low cost and
having high specific mechanical properties. A major drawback, particularly for outdoor …

This study proposes to investigate the influence of the 3D morphology of plant fibres on their
tensile behaviour. A numerical approach is proposed. An isotropic viscoelastic constitutive …

Pressboard is a cellulose-based material, manufactured from pure wood pulp by
compression under high pressure and temperature. Due to its excellent insulating properties …
