Pelletized cellulose fibres used in twin-screw extrusion for biocomposite manufacturing: Fibre breakage and dispersion
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether fiber dispersion and length could be improved by the addition of a lubricant, a commonly used composite processing aid, into cellulose pellets, or by using pelletized fibres that have not been completely dried to reduce hydrogen bonding.

Industrial-waste agave fibres in flame-retarded thermoplastic starch biocomposites
Guadalupe Sanchez-Olivares,Sebastian Rabe,Ricardo Pérez-Chávez,Fausto Calderas,Bernhard Schartel +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the combination of well-dispersed natural fibres, aluminium diethylphosphinate (AlPi) and a special silicone synergist (Si) is proposed as promising innovative route for V0-classified biocomposites.

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.
