• All-cellulose nanocomposites by surface selective dissolution of bacterial cellulose (2009, methodology): “lower melting temperature, the selective melting of the fibre or tape surface and subsequently ‘welding’ fibres or tapes together has been proposed for the manufacture of all-polypropylene composites by Ward and Hine (1997, 2004) and Peijs and coworkers ( Alcock et al. 2006, 2007; Cabrera et al. 20”
• The effect of temperature and strain rate on the mechanical properties of highly oriented polypropylene tapes and all-polypropylene composites (2007, background): “During drawing, the tape is drawn to k = 17, and has a tensile modulus of 15 GPa and a tensile strength of 450 MPa (see Table 1), which is almost entirely due to the highly oriented core layer of the tape that comprises the bulk of the tape [1].”
• Self-reinforced polymeric materials: A review (2010, background): “[98] manufactured UD composite sheets by winding the coextruded tapes on a metallic frame that was later put in-between the plates of a press operated in the temperature interval of T = 140–160 ◦C.”
• The effect of fibre volume fraction and mercerization on the properties of all-cellulose composites (2008, unknown): “All-polypropylene composites have been proposed to replace traditional glass fibre reinforced plastics for a number of applications, notably the automotive industry, due to their excellent recyclability and eco-friendly nature ( Alcock, Cabrera, Barkoula, & Peijs, 2006; Peijs, 2003).”
• A Review on Potentiality of Nano Filler/Natural Fiber Filled Polymer Hybrid Composites (2014, background): “These materials offer many of the same and equivalent advantages in terms of strength and toughness as conventional composites together with their own unique advantages including lower density [40], better matrix–fiber”
• Low velocity impact performance of recyclable all-polypropylene composites (2006, background): “The effect of compaction temperature and pressure on the mechanical properties of all-PP composites is discussed in great detail elsewhere [37,38].”
