• Biodegradable polymers/bamboo fiber biocomposite with bio-based coupling agent (2006, background): “This improved interfacial adhesion may be due to the compatible effect of graft copolymer with LDI intermediates, which could be produced through a chemical reaction between the hydroxyl groups of polymer and BF under kneading conditions of higher temperatures and pressure [39,40].”
