Is incineration the terminator of plastics and microplastics?

Zhan Yang et al.

Summary: The study found that a significant amount of microplastics exist in bottom ash generated from incineration, with each metric ton of waste producing a considerable number of microplastic particles. Polypropylene and polystyrene were identified as the predominant types, and microplastics exhibited various forms with abundance influenced by factors such as waste separation, GDP per capita, and furnace types.

Polylactic Acid (PLA) Biocomposite: Processing, Additive Manufacturing and Advanced Applications

R. A. Ilyas et al.

Summary: Research into bio-polymers, specifically focusing on polylactic acid (PLA), has gained momentum in recent years due to concerns about resource depletion and pollution. Natural fiber-reinforced PLA composites have been explored as alternatives to petroleum-based materials, with an emphasis on the type of fiber used in the matrix adhesion and their mechanical properties. Additionally, the current state of natural fiber-reinforced PLA 3D printing and their functions in stimuli-responsive polymers for 4D printing applications have also been discussed in this study.

Treatments of natural fiber as reinforcement in polymer composites-a short review

N. M. Nurazzi et al.

Summary: Research has shown that natural fibers have great potential in the composite materials industry, but require proper treatment to enhance performance, and a balance between cost-effectiveness, environmental impacts, and desired performance is needed in design. However, natural fibers still face challenges such as incompatibility with polymer matrix and moisture absorption.
