Comparison of injection moulded, natural fibre-reinforced composites with PP and PLA as matrices (2012, background): “The higher temperature peak corresponds to the a-transition related to the PP crystalline fractions.(33) The composite b-transitions are observed at a slightly higher temperature than that of the pure PP, which indicates an immobilization effect of the fibre on the PP chains.”
On transcrystallinity in semi-crystalline polymer composites (2005, methodology): “Various NF, such as sisal [20], jute [53,103], cellulose [4,15,29,39,50,104,105], flax [10], kenaf [106], bamboo [107] fiber, and so on, can be used for the formation of TC.”
Wood flour filled PP composites: Compatibilization and adhesion (2007, background): “Cellulose was shown to nucleate PP and induce transcrystallinity [28,30,37,38].”
