On the use of nanocellulose as reinforcement in polymer matrix composites (2014, background): “Nonetheless, the reinforcing natural fibres themselves do suffer from drawbacks such as limited processing temperature [6], high linear coefficients of thermal expansion [7,8], batch-to-batch variability, moisture sensitivity and low absolute tensile strength compared to synthetic fibres, such as gl”
Surface only modification of bacterial cellulose nanofibres with organic acids (2011, background): “Unfortunately, the major challenge of utilising (ligno)cellulosic materials, such as natural fibres, in composite applications is their extremely hydrophilic nature (Gardner et al. 2008), high linear coefficient of thermal expansion (LCTE) (Thomason 2009) and poor transverse properties ( Cichocki an”
Developing plant fibre composites for structural applications by optimising composite parameters: a critical review (2013, background): “The anisotropy of fibre reinforcements may result from the natural structure of the fibre (as is the case of cellulose-based fibres) [166] and/or”
