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...

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...
