Development and effect of alkali treatment on tensile properties of curaua fiber green composites (2007, background): “Therefore, recently, there has been an increase in studies of natural-fiber fullygreen composites [7–11].”
Fabrication and characterization of biodegradable composites based on microfibrillated cellulose and polyvinyl alcohol (2012, background): “It is estimated that we are currently consuming petroleum at an ‘unsustainable’ rate, 100,000 times faster than the nature can create it [3].”
Flax fibre and its composites – A review (2014, background): “Most biodegradable resins currently cost three to five times the commonly used resins such as PP, LDPE, and HDPE [65,66].”
Green composites: A review of processing technologies and recent applications (2018, background): “The biodegradation of some materials is in moist/wet open-air atmospheres by microbial/bacterial attack.(39) Bio-based polymer matrices have more life cycle contour than petrochemical-based traditional thermosets and thermoplastics.”
