Influence of Compounding Parameters on the Tensile Properties and Fibre Dispersion of Injection-Moulded Polylactic Acid and Thermomechanical Pulp Fibre Biocomposites
Zarna, Chiara; Rodriguez-Fabia, Sandra; Echtermeyer, Andreas; Chinga-Carrasco, Gary (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Thermomechanical pulp (TMP) fibres can serve as renewable, cost-efficient and lightweight reinforcement for thermoplastic polymers such as poly(lactic acid) (PLA). The reinforcing ability of TMP fibres can be reduced due ... -
Producing Floor and Side Panels from Biocomposites
Zarna, Chiara (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2023:81, Doctoral thesis, 2023)High pressure laminates for floor and wall coverings mainly consist of wood fibres and resins. Such laminates are made of a high density fibre board core and several paper sheets glued to the core to obtain a decorative, ... -
Reinforcement ability of lignocellulosic components in biocomposites and their 3D printed applications – A review
Zarna, Chiara; Opedal, Mihaela Tanase; Echtermeyer, Andreas; Chinga-Carrasco, Gary (Journal article, 2021)Biocomposites based on lignocellulosic components (e.g. pulp fibers, nanocellulose and lignin) are of interest as sustainable replacements for thermoplastic fossil-based materials, which find their application in household ...
