Compatibility of Natural Fiber and Hydrophobic Matrix in Composite Modification

Abstract

Compatibility of natural fiber with hydrophobic matrix is a herculean task in literature works. Part of the concerns may have necessitated the need for modification of natural fiber with chemical treatment in order to evolve composite

Bio-based and Biodegradable Plastic Materials: Life Cycle Assessment

“…Reinforcement of biodegradable material with metal matrix has contributed to the evolution of heavy metals in compost products as affirmed in the published paper authored by these researchers [40]. Thus, despite the adaptation of environmentally friendly waste collection approaches as depicted by source-separated or mixed collection, there have been compromises in the composition characteristics of the raw materials which affect the quality and the standard of the emerging compost product.…”
