Plastics and climate change breaking carbon lock-ins through three mitigation pathways
Fredric Bauer,Tobias Nielsen,Lars Nilsson,Ellen Palm,Karin Ericsson,Anna Fråne,Jonathan M. Cullen +6 more
TL;DR: The plastic industry is dependent on fossil fuels in various ways that result in strong “carbon lock-in” throughout the value chain and large and growing CO2 emissions as mentioned in this paper .

Composites reinforced with cellulose based fibres
TL;DR: In this article, a survey about physical and chemical treatment methods which improve the fiber matrix adhesion, their results and effects on the physical properties of composites is presented, and the influence of such treatments by taking into account fibre content on the creep, quasi-static, cyclic dynamic and impact behaviour of natural fibre reinforced plastics are discussed in detail.

Polymer blends and composites from renewable resources
Long Yu,Katherine Dean,Lin Li +2 more
TL;DR: A review of polymer blends and composites from renewable resources can be found in this article, where the progress of blends from three kinds of polymers from renewable sources (i.e., natural polymers such as starch, protein and cellulose), synthetic polymers, such as polylactic acid and polyhydroxybutyrate, are described with an emphasis on potential applications.
