Structure and properties of poly (lactic acid)/Sterculia urens uniaxial fabric biocomposites
J. Jayaramudu,G. Siva Mohan Reddy,Kokkarachedu Varaprasad,Emmanuel Rotimi Sadiku,Suprakas Sinha Ray,A. Varada Rajulu +5 more
TL;DR: Results of thermogravimetric analysis show that uniaxial treatment of the fabric can improve the degradation temperature of the biocomposites and standard PLA resins are suitable for the manufacture of S. urens uniaXial fabric reinforced biocomPOSites with excellent engineering properties, useful for food packaging.

Thermogravimetric analysis of Calotropis procera fibers and their influence on the thermal conductivity and flammability studies of polymer composites
TL;DR: In this article, the thermal stability and flammability of Calotropis procera fibers reinforced polymer composites as a function of fiber loading were investigated. But, the results showed that the fibers are thermally stable and can withstand 200°C and the rate of burning of the composites increases with increase in the weight % of the fibers in the matrix.

The Influence of Kaolin Clay on the Mechanical Properties and Structure of Thermoplastic Starch Films
A. Kwaśniewska,Dariusz Chocyk,Grzegorz Gładyszewski,Jarosław Borc,Michał Świetlicki,Bożena Gładyszewska +5 more
TL;DR: A significant influence of kaolin on the strength parameters and thermal and barrier properties of composite films was found and an increase in kaolin content reduced the tensile strength, Young's modulus, and Poisson's ratio.

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.
