TL;DR: In this paper, a brief outline of work that covers in the area of biocomposites, major class of biodegradable polymers, natural fibres, as well as their manufacturing techniques and properties has been highlighted.
Abstract: The growing ecological and environmental consciousness has driven efforts for development of new innovative materials for various end-use applications. Polymers synthesized from natural resources, have gained considerable research interest in the recent years. This review paper is intended to provide a brief outline of work that covers in the area of biocomposites, major class of biodegradable polymers, natural fibres, as well as their manufacturing techniques and properties has been highlighted. Various surface modification methods were incorporated to improve the fibre–matrix adhesion resulting in the enhancement of mechanical properties of the biocomposites. Moreover, an economical impact and future direction of these materials has been critically reviewed. This review concludes that the biocomposites form one of the emerging areas in polymer science that gain attention for use in various applications ranging from automobile to the building industries.

TL;DR: A review on synthesis, general properties, applications and nanocomposites of silicone rubber can be found in this paper, where the authors also discuss the application of silicone elastomer in aerospace, munitions industry, automobile, construction, electric and electronics, medical and food processing industry.
Abstract: Silicone rubber’s special features such as “organosiloxanes polymer” has been originated from its unique molecular structure that they carry both inorganic and organic properties unlike other organic rubbers. In other words, due to the Si–O bond of silicone rubber and its inorganic properties, silicone rubber was superior to ordinary organic rubbers in terms of heat resistance, chemical stability, electrical insulating, abrasion resistance, weatherability and ozone resistance. With these unique characteristics, silicone rubber has been widely used to replace petrochemical products in various industries like aerospace, munitions industry, automobile, construction, electric and electronics, medical and food processing industry. Recently, these scopes of silicone applications have been expanding at a great speed by the demand of industries that want more reliable elastomer. This paper reviews on synthesis, general properties, applications and nanocomposites of silicone rubber.
