Interfacial crystals morphology modification in cellulose fiber/polypropylene composite by mechanochemical method
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed to promote the interfacial adhesion by modifying the matrix crystal type and morphology, inducing the small β-PP spherulite from the dominated α-PP, which increased the tensile strength and elongation at break of the composite.

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.
