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.

Effect of fiber surface-treatments on the properties of laminated biocomposites from poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and kenaf fibers
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of temperature on the viscoelastic properties of composites were studied by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and morphological studies by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) demonstrated that better adhesion between the fiber and the matrix was achieved.

Biocomposites from wheat straw nanofibers: Morphology, thermal and mechanical properties
Ayse Alemdar,Mohini Sain +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the reinforcing potential of cellulose nanofibers obtained from agro-residues was investigated in a starch-based thermoplastic polymer, and the results showed that the tensile strength and modulus of the nanocomposite films revealed significantly enhanced properties compared to the pure thermoplastics.

Impact and tensile properties of PLA/Cordenka and PLA/flax composites
Benjamin Bax,Jörg Müssig +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the impact properties of PLA and Cordenka rayon fibres and flax fibres, and found that the PLA composite had the highest impact strength (72kJ/m2) and tensile strength (58 MPa).

A review of bast fibres and their composites. Part 1 – Fibres as reinforcements
TL;DR: Bast fibres are defined as those obtained from the outer cell layers of the stems of various plants and find use in textile applications and are increasingly being considered as reinforcements for polymer-matrix composites as they are perceived to be sustainable as mentioned in this paper.
