Review: current international research into cellulose nanofibres and nanocomposites
- S. J. Eichhorn, A. Dufresne, +20 authors T. Peijs
- Materials Science
- 2010
This paper provides an overview of recent progress made in the area of cellulose nanofibre-based nanocomposites. An introduction into the methods used to isolate cellulose nanofibres (nanowhiskers,… Expand
Effects of environmental conditions on mechanical and physical properties of flax fibers
- Artemis Stamboulis, C. Baillie, T. Peijs
- Materials Science
- 1 August 2001
The environmental degradation behaviour of flax fibers and their mechanical properties were investigated. Upgraded Duralin flax fibers, which have been treated by a novel treatment process for… Expand

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a natural hydrogel, which is produced by Acetobacter xylinum (recently renamed Gluconacetobacter xylinum) in culture and constitutes of a three-dimensional network of… Expand
Mechanical Properties of Natural-Fibre-Mat- Reinforced Thermoplastics based on Flax Fibres and Polypropylene
- S. K. Garkhail, R. W. H. Heijenrath, T. Peijs
- Materials Science
- 1 November 2000
Thermoplastic composites based on flax fibres and a polypropylene (PP) matrix were manufactured using (i) a film-stacking method based on random fibre mats and (ii) a paper making process based on… Expand
All-cellulose nanocomposites by surface selective dissolution of bacterial cellulose
- Nattakan Soykeabkaew, Chandeep Sian, S. Gea, T. Nishino, T. Peijs
- Materials Science
- 28 February 2009
All-cellulose nanocomposites using bacterial cellulose (BC) as a single raw material were prepared by a surface selective dissolution method. The effect of the immersion time of BC in the solvent… Expand
Influence of filler size on the properties of poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) nanocomposites
- Y. Gao, Olivier T. Picot, E. Bilotti, T. Peijs
- Materials Science

Abstract Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) composites reinforced with two types of graphite nanoplatelets varying in lateral size - small (GNP-S) and large (GNP-L) - were produced via melt compounding.… Expand
Processing of single polymer composites using the concept of constrained fibers
- N.-M. Barkoula, T. Peijs, T. Schimanski, J. Loos
- Materials Science
- 1 February 2005
The concept of “overheating” is one of the known methods for manufacturing single polymer composites. This concept is validated on two categories of semi-crystalline polymers: the drawable, apolar… Expand
High Strength and High Modulus Electrospun Nanofibers
- Jian Yao, C. Bastiaansen, T. Peijs
- Materials Science
- 17 December 2014
Electrospinning is a rapidly growing polymer processing technology as it provides a viable and simple method to create ultra-fine continuous fibers. This paper presents an in-depth review of the… Expand
Dimethylformamide: an effective dispersant for making ceramic-carbon nanotube composites.
Carbon nanotube (CNT) and alumina dispersions were prepared separately in dimethylformamide (DMF) and ethanol by ultrasonication. The colloidal stability of the dispersions was monitored and a… Expand
