Cotton reinforced biopolymer matrix composite: effect of ultraviolet (UV) on its mechanical properties

Research on the production of composites from natural fibers has an enormous attention from researchers due to environmental awareness, which focusing to produce compostable bio-based composites and renewable raw materials that can be safely disposed after their use without polluting the environment...
