A Review on Natural Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite and Its Applications

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the most appropriate and widely used natural fiber reinforced polymer composites (NFPCs) and their applications is presented in this paper. But, the results of the review are limited due to the high water absorption, inferior fire resistance, and lower mechanical properties of NFPCs.

Effect of Different Concentrations and Sizes of Particles of Rice Husk Ash - RHS in the Mechanical Properties of Polypropylene

TL;DR: In this article, the results showed that the CCA may be an alternative in the incorporation of mineral loads in polypropylene, since this is a waste product generated in the production of rice, thus the complete closure of the production cycle of the cereal.
