Recent developments in chemical modification and characterization of natural fiber‐reinforced composites

Maya Jacob John, Rajesh D. Anandjiwala · 26 Dec 2007

Abstract A critical review of the literature on the various aspects of natural fibers and biocomposites with a particular reference to chemical modifications is presented in this paper. A notable disadvantage of natural fibers is their polarity which makes it incompatible with hydrophobic matrix. This incompatibility results in poor interfacial bonding between the fibers and…

Big returns from small fibers: A review of polymer/carbon nanotube composites

O. Breuer, Uttandaraman Sundararaj · 16 Nov 2004

Abstract This paper reviews recent studies conducted on carbon nanotube/polymer composites. Carbon nanotubes are promising new materials for blending with polymers with potential to obtain low‐weight nanocomposites of extraordinary mechanical, electrical, thermal and multifunctional properties. The size scale, aspect ratio and properties of nanotubes provide advantages in a variety of applications, including electrostatically dissipative materials;…

The effect of aspect ratio of inclusions on the elastic properties of unidirectionally aligned composites

G. P. Tandon, George J. Weng · 1 Oct 1984

Abstract This paper examines the influence of aspect ratio α, from zero to infinity, on the effective elastic moduli of a transversely isotropic composite. The reinforcing inclusions, which could be flakes or short fibers, are assumed to be spheroidal and unidirectionally aligned. Of the five independent elastic constants, the longitudinal Young's modulus E 11 and…

Green composites: An overview

Elisa Zini, Mariastella Scandola · 4 Nov 2011

Abstract The use of natural fibers to reinforce polymers is a well‐established practice, and biocomposites are increasingly used in sectors such as automotive and construction. Green composites are a specific class of biocomposites, where a bio‐based polymer matrix is reinforced by natural fibers, and they represent an emerging area in polymer science. This work discusses…

Polymer Composites template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Polymer Composites format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Polymer Composites template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Polymer Composites use?
Polymer Composites uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Polymer Composites 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Polymer Composites?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready Polymer Composites document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Polymer Composites template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Polymer Composites format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Polymer Composites?
Polymer Composites is a multidisciplinary journal published by Wiley. DocuGuru's Polymer Composites template matches Wiley's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Polymer Composites PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Polymer Composites template (the USG class) that is ready to submit to Wiley, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Polymer Composites template cost?
You can start writing in the Polymer Composites template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Polymer Composites PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
