TL;DR: The increasing demand for new food packaging materials which satisfy people requirements provided thrust for advancement of nano-materials science as discussed by the authors, and the increasing need for new packaging materials with high barrier and barrier properties has driven the research and development in polymeric materials coupled with appropriate filler, matrix-filler interaction and new formulation strategies.

TL;DR: In this article, the tensile properties of hybrid composites were found to increase substantially with increasing jute fibres loading as compared to oil palm-epoxy composite, and the overall use of hybrid system was found to be effective in increasing tensile and dynamic mechanical properties of the oil palm/polyurethane composite probably due to the enhanced fibre/matrix interface bonding.

TL;DR: The MCC obtained from OPEFB-pulp is shown to have a good thermal stability and the potential for a range of applications such as green nano biocomposites reinforced with this form of MCC and pharmaceutical tableting material is discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive source of recent literature on epoxy structure, synthesis, modified epoxy, bio-epoxy resin, and its applications is presented, which also aims to cover the recent advances in natur...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the performances of polylactic acid (PLA)/kenaf (PLA-K) and PLA/rice husk composites in terms of biodegradability, mechanical and thermal properties.
