“…The use of lignocellulosic fibers as reinforcement in polymeric matrices has been studied extensively in recent years . Simultaneously, biodegradable green composites reinforced with cellulosic fiber in nanoscale size has gained the attention due to necessity of new materials development, which replace polymers and the reinforcements extracted from petroleum by biodegradable materials, from renovable sources and that do not hazard the environment .…”

This study presents the non‐isothermal behavior of poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐3‐hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) biodegradable films with 1–5 wt% of cellulose nanoparticles (CNs) manufactured by solution casting using N,N‐dimethylformide and chloroform as the solvents. X‐ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy with field emission gun were performed for CNs in order to determine its morphology and crystalline properties. The effect of non‐isothermal crystallization of PHBV and its nanocomposites was studied using differential scanning calorimetry technique. The incorporation of CNs increases the crystallization rate with up to 3 wt%. Structural parameters were studied using positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy and small‐angle X‐ray scattering. The free volume does not change upon CNs addition in spite of form less perfect crystals and increase the lamellar thickness. POLYM. COMPOS., 40:3156–3165, 2019. © 2018 Society of Plastics Engineers

“…However, particleboard expands and shrinks when the ambient humidity fluctuates, this affects their performance in service negatively [7] [12] [13]. Much research work has been carried out to improve the mechanical and physical properties of wood particleboard using different materials and treatments [7] [9] [10]. Particleboards made from a mixture of wood particles and glass fibers as the core, and two layers of woven jute fabric as skin layers were fabricated using the vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding technique [7].…”

This study was done with the aim of assessing the feasibility of mechanically recycled glass fiber particleboards made from (loblolly pine and longleaf pine) wood particles with epoxy as binder. The modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of elasticity (MOE) were evaluated as indicators of mechanical performance. The water absorption rate and thickness swelling rate were also analyzed to investigate the physical performance of the board. An increase of over 80% in MOE values was obtained for the boards with 10 wt% glass fiber inclusion. For the MOR values, there was an increase of over 84.4% in both densities and glass fiber inclusions of all the board densities. However, there was a decrease in MOE when 30 wt% glass fibers were incorporated into boards with density of 500 kg/m 3 and 700 kg/m 3 . A r-squared value of 0.869 supported the obtained result that the correlation between water absorption rate and thickness swelling rate was a function of the density of the composites.
