Biodegradation of Wasted Bioplastics in Natural and Industrial Environments: A Review (2020, background): “However, the often low mechanical strength of bioplastics is the property that mostly limits their application [95,96] and requires the use of synthetic fibers, such as glass or carbon, to increase this property [97].”
Studies of the processing and characterization of corn starch and its composites with banana and sugarcane fibers from Brazil. (2010, result): “Hence, tensile strength of such matrices may not be very high ( 3.5 MPa), as observed in the present study, where the value was comparable with those reported earlier (Ochi, 2006).”
