Structure and morphology of cellulose in wheat straw (2005, background): “Moreover, the unique physical structure of wheat straw makes it an excellent candidate for fibers and fillers in structural composites (Hornsby et al. 1997a, b) and many works have been carried out on the preparation of bio- or nano-composites by using materials from wheat straw ( Avella et al. 1993”
Polymer blends and composites from renewable resources (2006, background): “[127] reported on the thermal and mechanical behavior of a biotechnological polyester PHBV reinforced with wheat straw fibers.”
Properties of biocomposites based on lignocellulosic fillers (2006, result): “…abaca fibres (Shibata, Takachiyo, Ozawa, Yosomiya, & Takeishi, 2002), pineapple fibres (Luo & Netravali, 1999), flax fibres (Van de Velde & Kiekens, 2002), wheat straw fibres (Avella et al., 2000) or lignocellulosic flour (Dufresne, Dupeyre, & Paillet, 2003; Fernandes, Pietrini, & Chiellini, 2004).”
