A review: Fibres, polymer matrices and composites
N. Mohd Nurazzi,Abdan Khalina,S.M. Sapuan,A. H.A.M. Dayang Laila,Rahmah Mohamed,Z.M. Hanafee +5 more
TL;DR: The most commonly used natural fibres are kenaf, oil palm, sugar palm, pineapple leaf fibre, flax, hemp, sisal, coir and jute.

Flax/polypropylene composites for lightened structures: Multiscale analysis of process and fibre parameters
Awa S. Doumbia,Mickaël Castro,Denis Jouannet,Antoine Kervoelen,Thierry Falher,Laurent Cauret,Alain Bourmaud +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of extrusion equipment and fiber length on the composite's mechanical performance is investigated. But the authors highlight the fact that the composite performance is highly impacted by the fiber division and cell wall stiffness, as demonstrated by in-situ nanoindentation tests.

Interfacial Compatibility Evaluation on the Fiber Treatment in the Typha Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Composites and Their Effect on the Chemical and Mechanical Properties.
Samsul Rizal,Ikramullah,Deepu A. Gopakumar,Sulaiman Thalib,Syifaul Huzni,H. P. S. Abdul Khalil +5 more
TL;DR: It can be concluded that the alkali treatment on Typha fiber could improve the interfacial compatibility between epoxy resin and Typha Fiber, which resulted in the better mechanical properties and made the composite more hydrophobic.

Comparison of polyolefin biocomposites prepared with waste cardboard, microcrystalline cellulose, and cellulose nanocrystals via solid-state shear pulverization
TL;DR: In this paper, green hybrid of low density polyethylene (LDPE) and polypropylene (PP) with 5-25% waste cardboard (CB) is made by solid-state shear pulverization (SSSP), which achieves both size reduction of 2-3 cm sized CB pieces to the micron level and dispersion in polymer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental resistance of flax/bio-based epoxy and flax/polyurethane composites manufactured by resin transfer moulding
TL;DR: In this paper, the physical properties of two biocomposites, a flax/bio-based epoxy (Entropy SUPER SAP CLR/INS) and a polyurethane (HENKEL LOCTITE MAX 3), were compared.

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.

Natural fibres: can they replace glass in fibre reinforced plastics?
TL;DR: In this paper, natural fibres (sisal, kenaf, hemp, jute and coir) reinforced polypropylene composites were processed by compression molding using a film stacking method.
