  • The effects of extractives and compatibilizers on the flexural properties of natural fiber-thermoplastic composites

    Creator:
    Saputra, Hartono A.
    Abstract:
    Natural fibers such as wood, flax, and hemp are frequently used as fillers in natural fiber-plastic composites (NFPCs). At present, wood fiber is the most commonly used filler in the production of wood-plastic composites (WPCs). The advantages of these fibers compared to conventional inorganic fibers such as glass fiber is...

  • Orienting lignocellulosic fibers by means of a magnetic field

    Creator:
    Zauscher, Stefan
    Abstract:
    Controlling the orientation and spatial distribution of discontinuous fibers in composite materials enables product properties to be tailored to anticipated use. Electric fields are already (albeit rarely) used to affect alignment in lignocellulosic (LC) fiber composites. The use of magnetic fields has not, however, been suggested or explored; this is...

  • Ionic Cross-linked Cellulose Nanocrystals Composites of Poly(vinyl acetate)

    Creator:
    Chan, Han Ling
    Abstract:
    Understanding the effect on the materials mechanical properties from the perspective of interfacial interaction between the filler and the polymer matrix has become an important criterion in polymer nanocomposites field. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are renewable materials that can be extracted from natural sources, such as wood, cotton, and tunicates. In...
