The challenges of natural fiber in manufacturing, material selection, and technology application: A review (2018, background): “The surface morphology is normally improved with higher lignin content.(31) On the other hand, the chemical arrangement of the natural fiber, its structure and orientation, also contribute to the flammability.”
Evaluation of PLA–lignin bioplastics properties before and after accelerated weathering (2015, methodology): “It was found that the these composites did not show difficulties in the extrusion and compression molding processes and they can be processed in a similar way as PP based composites [3–5].”
Effect of Matrix–Particle Interfacial Adhesion on the Mechanical Properties of Poly(lactic acid)/Wood-Flour Micro-Composites (2009, background): “PLA composites incorporating a range of cellulosic fibers have been reported, and include the use of flax [8], sisal [9], bamboo [10], short abaca [11], jute [12], lyocell [13], paper and pulp [ 14 , 15], and microcrystalline cellulose [16].”
