• Interface and bonding mechanisms of plant fibre composites: An overview (2016, background): “Compared to the most synthetic plastics currently in use, the properties of TPS are unfortunately not satisfactory for its application as a thermoplastic especially the highly water-soluble character and poor mechanical and thermal properties[37,38].”
• Natural Biopolymer-Based Nanocomposite Films for Packaging Applications (2007, background): “…materials, and research in this area is progressing that can be referred to for further details (Lu et al., 2004; Nair and Dufresne, 2003a,b; Curvelo et al., 2001; Eichhorn et al., 2001; Anglès and Dufresne, 2000, 2001; Dufresne et al., 2000; Baumberger et al., 1998; Dufresne et al., 1998;…”
• Studies of the processing and characterization of corn starch and its composites with banana and sugarcane fibers from Brazil. (2010, methodology): “As this starch sample was not thermoplastic, glycerin was used as a plasticizer to maintain the integrity of the composites and avoid the formation of pores and cracks (Dufresne & Vignon, 1998; Shogren, 1998; Curvelo et al., 2001).”
• A comprehensive review on surface modification, structure interface and bonding mechanism of plant cellulose fiber reinforced polymer based composites (2018, background): “Presently, the features of thermoplastic starch (TPS) is not satisfied for the utilization, specifically the higher water solubility and poor thermal and mechanical properties [121,122].”
