This study was based on the influence of lignocellulosic fillers and content on the morphology, crystallization behavior and thermal, mechanical and barrier properties of fully biodegradable eco-composites based on ...

Due to advantages such as low cost, lightweight, possibility of environmental protection and good mechanical properties when compared with fiberglass reinforcement materials, composites reinforced with natural fibers have ...

Composites made from a stryrene/unsaturated polyester thermoset matrix and woodflours from different wood species have been prepared and tested. Pine (Pino Eliottis), eucaliptus (Eucaliptus Saligna) and marmelero (Ruprechia ...

The purpose of this study was to assess the potential for biocomposite films to biodegrade in diverse climatic environments. Biocomposite films based on polyethylene and 30 wt.% of two lignocellulosic fillers (wood flour ...

The addition of participate fillers (woodflour) and short fibers (sisal) into an unsaturated polyester matrix was performed and analyzed. The efficiency of the filler treatment was carefully investigated, in particular, ...

This research aimed to characterize the lignocellulosic materials of the Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa) extraction process and to develop biocomposites incorporating these materials with homopolymer and copolymer ...

The growing environmental concerns together with the reduction of petroleum resources have been a motor for revitalizing the interest in using raw materials from renewable resources. Among those, vegetable oils constitute ...
