Preparation and characterization of nanocomposite films containing starch and cellulose nanofibers
TL;DR: In this article, the incorporation of cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) in the composite film produced selective aggregation and thus inhomogeneity of the CNFs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flax fibre reinforced PLA/TPS biocomposites flame retarded with multifunctional additive system
TL;DR: In this article, a new synthesized multifunctional additive system was proposed to reduce the flammability of the prepared biocomposites by a newly synthesized additive system, which consisted of PLA/TPS biopolymer matrices reinforced with flax fibres.

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.
