Advances in the Valorization of Lignocellulosic Materials by Biotechnology: An Overview (2013, background): “Many authors (Bledzki and Gassan, 1999; Jayaraman, 2003; Lee et al. 2004; Kim et al. 2004; Yang et al. 2004) have carried out studies on the mechanical properties of natural fiber-filled thermo-plastics.”
Green composites based on polypropylene matrix and hydrophobized spend coffee ground (SCG) powder (2015, background): “For this reason, PP-g-MA act as a bridge between highly hydrophilic SCG particles and the highly hydrophobic PP chains and this has a positive effect on absorbed impact energy as micro-crack propagation is more difficult [23, 36].”
Comparison of Polylactic Acid/Kenaf and Polylactic Acid/Rise Husk Composites: The Influence of the Natural Fibers on the Mechanical, Thermal and Biodegradability Properties (2010, background): “It induces micro-spaces between the fiber and matrix polymer, and as a result causes numerous micro-cracks when impact occurs, which induce crack propagation easily and decrease the impact strength of the composites [26, 29 ].”
