Biocomposites reinforced with natural fibers: 2000–2010 (2012, background): “PLA as a matrix for biocomposites reinforced with iofiber was extensively investigated for jute fiber 328–331], flax fiber [332,333], kenaf [334,335], coir [336], amboo [337] and cellulose fibers [338,339].”
Characterization of natural fiber and composites – A review (2013, methodology): “The compound was filled in extruder hopper and screw extruder was used to inject the mixture in the mold for preparing the composites.(18)”
Thermal properties of treated sugar palm yarn/glass fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester hybrid composites (2020, background): “This occurred due to some portions of the matrix being replaced with highly thermally stable glass fiber and some ratio of less thermally stable sugar palm fibers, which then increase the thermal stability of the polymer matrix system as a whole [67].”
