Preparation, Characteristics, and Application of Biopolymer Materials Reinforced with Lignocellulosic Fibres

International Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Various environmental concerns motivate scientists and researchers to look out for unique new materials in science and technology. In order to address the demand for polymeric materials with partial biodegradability, the usage of lignocellulosic fibre in the polymer matrix has risen. Lignocellulosic fibres are a cheap, easily renewable resource that is

Experimental Investigation on Effect of Weight Fraction of Sisal Fiber on Mechanical Properties of Sisal‐E‐Glass Hybrid Polymer Composites

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Currently, hybridizing natural fibers with synthetic fiber is considered as the best solution for reducing the environmental pollution and the cost of materials. This is due to the lower mechanical properties and high water absorption capacity problems of natural fiber reinforced composites and nonbiodegradability and high‐cost problem of synthetic ...
