Influence Pre-Treatment On The Properties Of Lignocellulose Based Biocomposite

Natural fibers are gaining progressive account as a renewable, environmentally acceptable, and biodegradable reinforcing fibre which combine acceptable mechanical properties with a low density. The utilization of biomass (lignocelluloses) for the processing of novel composites has attracted growi...
