Improvement in thermomechanical properties of injection molded nano-modified hybrid biocomposite

Biopolymers and their composites are one of the best alternatives for replacing petroleum-based plastic commodities. The main drawback of biopolymer is its high cost that restricts its applications; however, biopolymers filled with natural fibers are able to reduce cost but suffer lower impact stren...

The main drawback of biopolymer is its high cost that restricts its applications; however, biopolymers filled with natural fibers are able to reduce cost but suffer lower impact strength and fracture toughness.
