In this work, we report facile synthesis and characterization of new cellulose acetate-
hydroxyapatite membranes for water purification and biomedical applications. The …

This article reviews the tensile properties of various plant fibre-reinforced polymers reported
in literature. We critically discuss the use of plant fibres as reinforcement for the production of …

Natural cellulosic pine needles were used in long fiber form as a new, potential
reinforcement to fabricate green composites using the compression-molding technique …

Novel “green” polymer composites were successfully synthesized from pine needles and a
phenolic matrix by compression molding technique. Various weight contents (10%, 20 …

Recently, due to increasing environmental concerns, scientists and researchers have been
