DFT study of the application of polymers cellulose and cellulose acetate for adsorption of metal ions (Cd 2+ , Cu 2+ and Cr 3+ ) potentially toxic
TL;DR: In this article, the functional density theory calculations were performed to investigate the interaction mechanism (adsorption) of Cu2+, Cr3+ and Cd2+ metal ions in cellulose (CE) and cellulose acetate (AC).

Effect of surface treatments of jute fibers on the microstructural and mechanical responses of poly(lactic acid)/jute fiber biocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of surface treatment of jute fiber were examined at the matrix-fiber interface by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) which confirmed the formation of hydrogen bonds and covalent bonds between PLA and jute fibers.

Lignin particle- and wood flour-reinforced phenolic foams: Friability, thermal stability and effect of hygrothermal aging on mechanical properties and morphology
Belén Del Saz-Orozco,M.V. Alonso,Mercedes Oliet,Juan Carlos Domínguez,Ester Rojo,Francisco Rodríguez +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of lignin particles and wood flour weight fractions incorporated on friability and thermal stability of a phenolic foam was determined, and the effects of hygrothermal aging on compressive mechanical properties and cell size of the materials were studied.

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.
