Thermoplastic starch/wood biocomposites processed with deep eutectic solvents
TL;DR: In this article, thermoplastic starch composites were manufactured from potato starch, wood fibers (WF) with content up to 41.5% and deep eutectic solvents (DES) based on choline chloride with urea or glycerol (Gl) as well as imidazole (Im) with Gl.

Natural Fibers from Plantain Pseudostem (Musa Paradisiaca) for Use in Fiber-Reinforced Composites
TL;DR: In this article, non-wood fibers from pseudostem of plantain plants were extracted through mechanical processing to be used as reinforcing material in polyester composites, and they were obtained using a 4% wt. of lignocellulosic reinforcement and were prepared after the fibers underwent alkaline and acetylation treatments to enhance the compatibility of organic loads with the polyester matrix.

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.
