Using fiber and liquid polymer to improve the behaviour of cement-stabilized soft clay
Mohamed Ayeldeen,Masaki Kitazume +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of using two types of polymer (fibers and liquid) to enhance the strength of cemented soft clay was investigated, and it was shown that both fibers and liquid polymers can improve the soft clay strength, however the fiber mechanism in improving the mixture is totally different than the liquid.

Valorization of food processing wastes and by-products for bioplastic production
Katrin Jõgi,Rajeev Bhat +1 more
TL;DR: An overview of bioplastics, including production methods and possibilities of industrial food waste valorization for bioplastic production, is provided in this paper, where a potential option to pursue would be to explore agri-food wastes and by-products for biplastic production.

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.
