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 of the recent developments in biocomposites based on natural fibres and their application perspectives
TL;DR: In this paper, a brief outline of work that covers in the area of biocomposites, major class of biodegradable polymers, natural fibres, as well as their manufacturing techniques and properties has been highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Processing and characterization of natural cellulose fibers/thermoset polymer composites.

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.

‘Green’ composites from soy based plastic and pineapple leaf fiber: fabrication and properties evaluation
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of fiber loading and polyester amide grafted glycidyl methacrylate (PEA- g -GMA) as compatibilizer on morphology and physical properties of pineapple leaf fiber reinforced soy based biocomites were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation and properties of recycled HDPE/natural fiber composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the fibers (wood and bagasse) and coupling agent type/concentration on the composite properties were studied, and the composites had lower crystallization peak temperatures and wider crystalline temperature range than neat high density polyethylene (RHDPE), and their thermal stability was lower than RHDPE.

Fabrication and testing of natural fibre composites: Vakka, sisal, bamboo and banana
TL;DR: In this article, the tensile, flexural and dielectric properties of vakka fiber composite are investigated for electrical insulation applications and it has been observed that tensile properties increase with respect to volume fraction of fiber.

Physical and mechanical properties of unidirectional plant fibre composites: an evaluation of the influence of porosity
Bo Madsen,Hans Lilholt +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a rule-of-mixtures (ROM) model was used to describe the composite volumetric interaction between contents of fiber, matrix and porosity, and two porosity components were proposed, a process governed component and a structurally governed component.

Short jute fiber reinforced polypropylene composites: effect of compatibiliser, impact modifier and fiber loading
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact modifier on fiber loading was analyzed and found that both impact and tensile properties showed increasing trend with the compatibiliser but reverse was true for the flexural properties.
