The increasing global demand for sustainable materials has drawn academic and industrial attention towards lignocellulosic resources. One emerging non-wood source is Australian spinifex arid grass. Exploration of this unique resource is particularly important due to its abundance, extreme drought-tolerance, renewability, and low cost. In this study, mild-alkali treated spinifex grass was subjected...
There is a growing demand for the development of new renewable materials and the replacement of fossil fuel based polymers with bio-based polymers and composites. Cellulose nanofibres (CNF) is an emerging nano-reinforcement agent for polymers to improve mechanical properties. The preparation and properties of bionanocomposites consisting of spinifex cellulose nanofibres and bio-based polyamide 11...
The effect of moisture content on tensile and fracture properties of a plasticised starch/high molecular weight polyol blend was investigated. A wide range of mechanical behaviour was achieved by varying slightly the water uptake of this material. At low moisture content, the Young’s modulus was 3800MPa and the yield stress, 54MPa. When the moisture content reached 15wt%, their values dropped, respectively,...
