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

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.

Polarity parameters and dynamic mechanical behaviour of chemically modified banana fiber reinforced polyester composites
Laly A. Pothan,Sabu Thomas +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of chemical modification on the dynamic mechanical properties of banana fiber reinforced polyester composites has been analyzed to investigate the interfacial properties, which occur due to the specific interactions between less reactive functional groups of each partner at the interface.

Polypropylene composites with enzyme modified abaca fibre
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of modification of abaca fiber were assessed on the basis of morphology and thermal resistance and as well as on mechanical, thermal and environmental stress corrosion resistance properties of the resulting composites.

The Effect of Alkali Treatment on the Adhesion Characteristics of Sisal Fibres
TL;DR: The effect of alkali treatment on the wetting ability and coherence of sisal-epoxy composites has been examined in this paper, showing that the removal of intracrystalline and intercrystalline lignin and other surface waxy substances by the alkali substantially increases the possibility for mechanical interlocking and chemical bonding.
