Control of Biodegradability in a Natural Fibre based Nanocomposite as a Function of Impregnated Copper Nanoparticle

The properties of biodegradability or non-biodegradability are highly important for the design and application of sustainable materials. The objective of this work is to introduce a novel type of nanocomposite comprising a natural fibre reinforcing agent impregnated with copper nanoparticles, and to...
