At ITA, a number of research projects have been carried out in the past few years to develop production and processing technologies for not only commercially available but also experimental biopolymers. The studies deal with establishing processing methodologies through the entire staple fiber processing chain and also creating a property profile for these biopolymers. The paper will, therefore, provide an overview of the investigations carried out at ITA on the processing of experimental biopolymers, biopolymer and long industrial natural fibre blends up to bio-composites.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
