Comparison of injection moulded, natural fibre-reinforced composites with PP and PLA as matrices (2012, background): “Fibres provide the strength and stiffness and act as reinforcement in a fibre-reinforced composite material.(2) There have been several publications on PP composites reinforced with short/long sisal fibres (SFs).”
Compounding and molding of polyethylene composites reinforced with keratin feather fiber (2005, background): “Some studies utilize compression molding of fibers and polymer to eliminate the compounding step and perform mixing and molding in one step [13,29].”
Polyethylene reinforced with keratin fibers obtained from chicken feathers (2005, background): “Most studies of naturally occurring organic fibers concentrate on cellulose-based fibers obtained from renewable plant resources such as wood [3–11], cotton [12], flax [13], sisal [14,15], jute [16], hemp [17], ramie [18], and bamboo [19].”
Biocomposites reinforced with natural fibers: 2000–2010 (2012, methodology): “The fiber mat production method allowed the fibers to avoid much of the processing degradation, which is often encountered during conventional shear mixing processes [255].”
Flexural behaviour of hybrid laminated composites (2007, background): “Applications of natural fibres in automotive applications have been limited to interior components and truck cabins [6,8] to replace the components previously made with glass fibre composites [9,10].”
