Improving the ductility and heat deflection temperature of injection molded Poly(lactic acid) products: A comprehensive review
TL;DR: In this paper, the most effective additives to improve the properties of injection molded poly(lactic acid) (PLA) products are presented from a comprehensive literature review, which can also be used for other processing technologies, but in the discussion, they focused on their use in injection molding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental aspects of fiber crops cultivation and use
TL;DR: In this paper, the environmental aspects of fiber crops cultivation and use are reviewed based on the following categories: use of resources, emission of gases, effects on the quality of soil and water and biological and landscape diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradability and Compostability of Lignocellulosic Based Composite Materials
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative analysis of ASTM and ISO biodegradability standards in terms of testing methodology and results interpretation is provided, and a special focus is given to the biodegradation mechanisms found in polymers and their composites.

Composites reinforced with cellulose based fibres
TL;DR: In this article, a survey about physical and chemical treatment methods which improve the fiber matrix adhesion, their results and effects on the physical properties of composites is presented, and the influence of such treatments by taking into account fibre content on the creep, quasi-static, cyclic dynamic and impact behaviour of natural fibre reinforced plastics are discussed in detail.
