• Effects of modifications of bamboo cellulose fibers on the improved mechanical properties of cellulose reinforced poly(lactic acid) composites (2014, background): “Therefore, a study on improvement of the interface adhesion between natural fillers and bio-degradable polymers is of essential importance [26].”
• Acoustic Absorption of Natural Fiber Composites (2016, background): “Although the removal of these substances lowers the acoustic absorption performance of the material, it allows better fiber-binder interface adhesion, fiber fitness, longevity, and antifungus quality and most importantly reduces the diameter of the fibers [11, 17, 27].”
• Recent Developments in Luffa Natural Fiber Composites: Review (2020, methodology): “Adding silane coupling agent into luffa/polypropylene NFC can deteriorate its TS, whereas increasing the luffa fiber volume fraction reduced the tensile strength [68].”
