Journal ArticleDOI
Natural fibres as reinforcement in polylactic acid (PLA) composites
TL;DR: In this paper, a twin-screw extruder with flax fiber content of 30 and 40 wt.% was used to produce a composite material with high impact strength.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of the isolation of nanocrystals from microcrystalline cellulose by acid hydrolysis
TL;DR: In this article, a rapid, high-yield process was proposed to obtain an aqueous stable colloid suspension of cellulose nanocrystals/whiskers. But the results of the process were limited by the concentration of MCC and sulfuric acid, the hydrolysis time and temperature, and ultrasonic treatment time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical Properties of Biodegradable Composites from Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) and Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC)
TL;DR: In this paper, a biodegradable composites were prepared using microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) as the reinforcement and polylactic acid (PLA) as a matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI
Manufacturing process of cellulose whiskers/polylactic acid nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, cellulose whiskers separated from commercially available microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and polylactic acid (PLA) were used to develop novel nanostructured biocomposites by compounding extrusion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical properties of cellulose nanofiber (CNF) reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) prepared by twin screw extrusion
TL;DR: In this article, a cellulose nanofiber (CNF) reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) by twin screw extrusion was developed, which increased tensile modulus and strength from 2.9 GPa to 3.6 GPa.
