TL;DR: The need to develop and commercialize materials containing vegetal fibers has grown in order to reduce environmental impact and reach sustainability Large amounts of lignocellulosic materials are generated around the world from several human activities as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the use of natural fibers as reinforcement in polymeric composites for technical applications has been a research subject of scientists during the last decade, motivated by potential advantages of weight saving, lower raw material price, and ecological advantages of using green resources which are renewable and biodegradable.

TL;DR: In this article, thermal and mechanical characterization of woven sisal fabric composites, with and without thermal treatment (at 60°C for 72h) on the fabric, thermal characterization by TGA and the manufacturing process by compression molding are presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the chemical, physical and thermal properties of a new lignocellulosic fiber from Brazil (Imperata brasiliensis) were examined by SEM, chemical composition, XRD, FTIR, and TGA.

TL;DR: In this paper, a flexural caracterization of sisal/polyurethane and sisal-phenolic composites by using the three-point bending was presented.
