Critical factors on manufacturing processes of natural fibre composites (2012, background): “The nature of bond formed between a specific coupling agent and fibres depends strongly on the characteristics of the fibre surface to which the coupling agent is adhered [32].”
Dimensional stability and mechanical behaviour of wood–plastic composites based on recycled and virgin high-density polyethylene (HDPE) (2008, methodology): “With the addition of MAPP (3–5 wt%) the compatibility between wood flour and HDPE is improved because the anhydride moieties in MAPP entered into an esterification reaction with the surface hydroxyl groups of wood flour [29].”
In situ synthesis of a Cu-BTC metal–organic framework (MOF 199) onto cellulosic fibrous substrates: cotton (2012, result): “These results are in quantitative agreement with those reported by Matuana et al. (2001) when they probed Fig.”
