Processing of PLA/sisal fiber biocomposites using direct- and extrusion-injection molding
TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility of using direct-injection molding (D-IM) process for processing of sisal fiber reinforced poly-lactic acid biocomposites with a fiber weight fraction of 30%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanostructured biolayers in food packaging
TL;DR: This viewpoint compiles innovative strategies to achieve enhanced barrier properties by using “biolayering” technologies, based on nanolayers and nanostructured layers made of biopolymers, which are able to retain transparency and enhance barrier properties without significant changes in mechanical performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
PLA based biocomposites reinforced with Posidonia oceanica leaves
TL;DR: In this paper, leaves of Posidonia oceanica (PO), dominant sea grass in the Mediterranean Sea, were used to prepare PLA based biocomposites and the experimental elastic moduli were modelled employing the Halpin-Tsai (HT) model.

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.
