Biocomposites based on plasticized starch: thermal and mechanical behaviours.

TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal and mechanical properties of reinforced agro-materials have been investigated, which can be linked to interactions resulting in a decrease of starch chain mobility and to a regular reinforcing effect.

Rice-husk flour filled polypropylene composites; mechanical and morphological study

TL;DR: In this article, the possibility of using lignocellulosic materials as reinforcing fillers in the thermoplastic polymer composite, polypropylene as the matrix and rice-husk flour as the reinforcing filler were used to prepare a particle-reinforced composite in order to determine testing data for the physical, mechanical and morphological properties of the composite according to the filler loading.
