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.

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.

Fatigue of sisal fibre reinforced composites: Constant-life diagrams and hysteresis loop capture
Arnold N. Towo,Martin P. Ansell +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors constructed S-N diagrams from fatigue data at stress ratios of R = 0.1 (tension-tension) and R = −1 (reversed loading) to calculate the maximum loads used during fatigue testing and showed that composites containing alkali treated fiber bundles have better mechanical properties than those with untreated fibre bundles.

Developments in the characterization of natural fibre properties and in the use of natural fibres for composites
TL;DR: In this article, a new process to produce long fibre reinforced thermoplastic granules is presented and these long fibre granules can be processed by conventional plastic equipments, which can be used to extract the Young's modulus or tensile strength of the reinforcing fibres.

Natural fibre high-density polyethylene and lead oxide composites for radiation shielding
TL;DR: In this article, the radiation shielding provided by recycled agricultural fibre and industrial plastic wastes produced as composite materials was studied. But the results of the study were limited to the removal cross-sections of fast neutrons.

Effect of Moisture Absorption on Mechanical Properties of Chopped Natural Fiber Reinforced Epoxy Composite
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the moisture absorption behavior and its effect on mechanical properties of Lantana camara fiber reinforced epoxy composite and find that the tensile and flexural strength of composite decreases with moisture absorption.

Temperature and loading rate effects on tensile properties of kenaf bast fiber bundles and composites
TL;DR: In this paper, the tensile properties of kenaf bast fibers bundle (KBFB) and KBFB-reinforced epoxy strands were evaluated statistically using large sample sets and the elastic modulus, tensile strength, as well as failure strains of KBFBs displayed large scatter statistically ranging from 10% to 30%.
