Progress in Green Polymer Composites from Lignin for Multifunctional Applications: A Review
TL;DR: Lignin is one of the three major components found in the cell walls of natural lignocellulosic materials and is widely available as a major byproduct of a number of industries involved in retrieving the polysaccharide components of plants for industrial applications, such as in paper making, ethanol production from biomass, etc.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review on modification methods to cellulose-based adsorbents to improve adsorption capacity
TL;DR: It is evident from the literature survey presented herein that modified cellulose-based adsorbents exhibit good potential for the removal of various aquatic pollutants, however, still there is a need to find out the practical utility of these adsorbent on a commercial scale, leading to the improvement of pollution control.

Mechanical properties of pineapple leaf fibre reinforced polypropylene composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the tensile and flexural properties of polypropylene composites as a function of volume fraction were investigated, and the flexural strength of the composites containing 5.4% volume fraction was found to be higher than that of pure Polypropylene resin by 5.1%.
