Novel cork-polymer composites reinforced with short natural coconut fibres : effect of fibre loading and coupling agent addition
TL;DR: In this paper, the coupling agent (CA) was used to enhance the tensile properties of composite materials, including elastic modulus and tensile strength, and the morphology of the hybrid composites were more homogeneous.

Experimental and theoretical investigation of prestressed natural fiber-reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) composite materials
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that the specific (weight normalized) mechanical properties of polylactic acid (PLA) can be enhanced by leveraging a combination of additive manufacturing (3D printing) and initial post-tensioning of continuous natural fiber reinforcement.

Exploring the potentialities of using lignocellulosic fibres derived from three food by-products as constituents of biocomposites for food packaging
Marie-Alix Berthet,Hélène Angellier-Coussy,Diogo Machado,Loic Hilliou,Andreas Staebler,António A. Vicente,Nathalie Gontard +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the potential use of lignocellulosic fibres obtained by dry grinding of three different solid agro-residues, i.e., wheat straw, brewing spent grains and olive mills, were compared regarding their potential use as fillers in poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate) (PHBV) for food packaging applications.

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.
