Microwave Torrefaction of Natural Fibers for Incorporation into Engineering Thermoplastic Biocomposites

Little work has been done in the area of engineering thermoplastic biocomposites due to the increased processing temperatures which induce degradation of biomass. Torrefaction has been identified as an effective means of preparing biomass for introduction into engineering thermoplastics such as poly...
