Three sizes of hop fibers were tested at 30 wt% in PBSA biocomposites for material performance. Fibre length and size distribution found to be key factors on mechanical thermal properties natural fiber-reinforced composites.

Byproducts of the processing foods are usually non-edible residues that typically discarded, even though they contain large amounts natural polymers with great potential in bioplastics and biocomposites preparation. Herein, a new method production vegetable-waste-derived is developed. It consists thermomechanical different presence small water, representing an advancement state-of-the-art compl...

Microorganisms have developed a resistance against some of the most conventional antibiotics. These microorganisms can be self-assembled, forming microbial biofilm. A biofilm formation is an inherent event on almost any surface, causing countless side effects human health and environment. Therefore, multiple scientific proposals been based renewable sources such as natural polymers. Natural pol...
