Fabrication, Characterization, and Antimicrobial Activity of PLA/Chitosan Composites Reinforced With Sugarcane Bagasse–Derived Fillers

open access: yesApplied Research, Volume 5, Issue 4, August 2026.
Fiber treatment improved sugarcane bagasse by increasing cellulose content to 71.7% and crystallinity to 91.36%. Among composites, PLA–CS–UASCB showed the best overall performance, maintaining tensile strength and modulus close to pure PLA while delivering the highest antimicrobial activity, reducing E. coli by 20.28% and S. aureus by 28.33%.

Estimation of Fibres from Different Flax Varieties for Textile Production [PDF]

open access: yes
The flax is one of the oldest textile fibres in Latvia, but after the Second World War there was no work done in flax breeding. Therefore, there were only some local varieties, but mainly farmers had to use foreign varieties.
