Impact properties and water uptake behavior of old newspaper recycled fibers-reinforced polypropylene composites [PDF]

, 2020
Natural fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites can be an alternative to mineral fiber-based composites, especially when economic and environment concerns are included under the material selection criteria. In recent years, the literature has shown how

On the path to a new generation of cement-based composites through the use of lignocellulosic micro/nanofibers [PDF]

, 2019
Due to its high biocompatibility, bio-degradability, and low cost, cellulose finds application in disparate areas of research. Here we focus our attention on the potential applications of cellulose nanofiber in cement-basedmaterials for the building ...

Effect of hemp fiber length on the mechanical and thermal properties of polypropylene/SEBS/hemp fiber composites

Journal of Materials Research and Technology, 2020
The control of the fiber length is proposed as a low cost and eco-friendly alternative to the expensive chemical treatments of fibers in polymer composites. Different initial lengths of hemp fibers (HF), ranging from 1 to 4 mm, were obtained using automatic milling and manual cutting.
