Degradation of a Polycaprolactone/Eggshell Biocomposite in a Bioreactor
TL;DR: In this article, the degradation process of polycaprolactone (PCL)/eggshell (ES) biocomposite was studied for 8 weeks, using a bioreactor, which allowed to control: temperature, moisture, soil pH, light and anaerobic condition during composting.

Toughened wheat gluten and treated coconut fiber composite
TL;DR: In this paper, a biodegradable composite with improved mechanical properties and high work-to-failure by combining toughened wheat gluten matrix with 15 mass% surface treated, highly ductile coconut fiber is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interfacial reinforcement mechanism in poly(lactic acid)/natural fiber biocomposites featuring ZnO nanowires at the interface
TL;DR: In this article, a two-step hydrothermal method was adopted to functionalize zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires on the natural fiber surface driven by strong intramolecular interaction.

Cellulosic Biocomposites: Potential Materials for Future
TL;DR: In this article, a clear overview of nanocellulose based composites by describing their isolation, surface modification, composite preparation, properties, and applications is given, and the obtained results for developed bionanocomposites materials shows that it can be a promising alternative for conventional packaging materials with improved properties.

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.
