5. 3. Development of Constituents for Multi-functional Composites Reinforced with Cellulosic Fibers

   Author : Zainab Al-Maqdasi; Roberts Joffe; Nazanin Emami; Liva Pupure; Yvonne Aitomäki; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cellulose fibers; multi-functional; composites; nano-reinforcement; thermoplastics; development; Polymeric Composite Materials; Polymera kompositmaterial;

   Abstract : Bio-basedcomposites are being increasingly used in applications where weight saving,and environmental friendliness is as important as structural performance. Obviously, bio-based materials have their limitations regarding durability and stability of the properties,but their potential in use for advanced applications can be expanded if they were functionalized and considered beyond their structural performance.
