Incorporation of Biochar to Improve Mechanical, Thermal and Electrical Properties of Polymer Composites.
TL;DR: In this paper, an in-depth analysis of biochar and its structure is presented, and a thorough review on the effect of adding biochar on the overall composite properties showed immense promise in improving composite properties.

Effects of acid, alkaline, and seawater aging on the mechanical and thermomechanical properties of glass fiber/epoxy composites filled with carbon nanofibers
TL;DR: In this paper, a glass fiber/epoxy (GE) composites have been fabricated with and without carbon nanofibers (CNFs), and aging has been carried out in acidic (pH = 1), seawater, and alkaline, for 150 days, and it is revealed that as the immersion time increases, there is a continuous decrement in flexural strength and modulus.

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.
