Study of the Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)/Cellulose Nanowhisker Composites Prepared by Solution Casting and Melt Processing (2008, result): “reported similar results in isotactic polypropylene (iPP)/CNW nanocomposites [27].”
Polypropylene–microcrystalline cellulose composites with enhanced compatibility and properties (2009, background): “Additionally, natural fibres have flexibility and are therefore less susceptible to fracture during processing, resulting in these fibres maintaining their specific aspect ratio [20–22].”
