Evaluation of the effect of reprocessing on the structure and properties of low density polyethylene/thermoplastic starch blends
TL;DR: Evaluating the effect of reprocessing on the structure and properties of a low density polyethylene/thermoplastic starch (LDPE/TPS) blend compared to LDPE indicated that multiple extrusion steps led to a reduction in the average size of the starch-rich phases of LDPe/TPS blends and minor changes in the mechanical and rheological properties of the materials.

Business models and sustainable plastic management: A systematic review of the literature
TL;DR: A review of the scientific literature for business models contributing to sustainable plastic management and suggesting avenues for future research is presented in this article. But, as stated in the review, "limited cases were found during the literature review, whereas many more SPM business models exist in practice, signaling a research gap".

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.
