Popis: Biocomposites incorporating cellulose fibres, a renewable resource, have high modulus and strength and flexibility suitable for structural applications. Solution casting, ultrasonication, and compression moulding methods were used to prepare the specimens. Results show that plasticiser indeed improved the flexibility of the composite and adding fillers further enhanced the performance of the composite.
