Modification of Natural Biomass by Graft Copolymerization
Natural biomasses such as natural fibers have been traditionally used as reinforcement in polymer biocomposites for structural applications. However, the resulting biocomposites are sensitive to harsh environmental conditions, which results in poorer properties in the biocomposites. Therefore, in the present study an attempt has been made to modify the
