Mechanical, Thermal and Rheological Properties of Reprocessable Poly(Butylene Succinate)
Natkrita Prasoetsopha,Jessada Didsabong,Kunlaya Sonthonglang,Patcharaporn Somdee,Witawat Singsang,Aniwat Hasook +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the mechanical, thermal and rheological properties of recycled biodegradable poly (butylene succinate) (PBS) with reproduction of 10 cycles and found that tensile strength was slightly increased with increasing reproduction cycle until 6th cycles and reduced in the further cycles, respectively.

NADES-derived beta cyclodextrin-based polymers as sustainable precursors to produce sub-micrometric cross-linked mats and fibrous carbons
Claudio Cecone,Gjylije Hoti,Fabrizio Caldera,Marco Zanetti,Francesco Trotta,Pierangiola Bracco +5 more
TL;DR: In this article , the production of sub-micrometric fibres, from the electrospinning of NADES-derived βCD-based polymer solutions, using water as a unique solvent, was investigated, and the possibility to crosslink the obtained fibres via facile thermal treatment, without altering the fibrous morphology was demonstrated.

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.
