Journal ArticleDOI
Surface modification of natural fibers using bacteria:depositing bacterial cellulose onto natural fibers to create hierarchical fiber reinforced nanocomposites
Marion Pommet,Julasak Juntaro,Jerry Y. Y. Heng,Athanasios Mantalaris,Adam F. Lee,Karen Wilson,Gerhard Kalinka,Milo S. P. Shaffer,Alexander Bismarck +8 more
TL;DR: This paper describes the process of modifying large quantities of natural fibers with bacterial cellulose through their use as substrates for bacteria during fermentation, which enhances their adhesion to renewable polymers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Creating Hierarchical Structures in Renewable Composites by Attaching Bacterial Cellulose onto Sisal Fibers
Julasak Juntaro,Marion Pommet,Gerhard Kalinka,Athanasios Mantalaris,Milo S. P. Shaffer,Alexander Bismarck +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new approach to produce hierarchical composite structures from completely renewable resources is described, where the modified sisal fibers were incorporated into a bioderived polymer matrix, poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA), to obtain a new class of hierarchical composite that is both derived from renewable resources and biodegradable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanocellulose enhanced interfaces in truly green unidirectional fibre reinforced composites
TL;DR: In this paper, a green technique of modifying natural fibre surfaces to improve the interaction between the fibres and polymers by attaching nano-scale bacterial cellulose to the fibre surfaces was developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Atmospheric Air Pressure Plasma Treatment on the Thermal Behaviour of Natural Fibres and Dynamical Mechanical Properties of Randomly-Oriented Short Fibre Composites
Patent
Material comprising microbially synthesized cellulose associated with a support like a polymer and/or fibre
TL;DR: In this article, a cellulose-reinforced material is provided for incorporation into a composite, where the cellulose is produced by a micro organism and a support is selected from a polymer and/or a fiber.
