Abstract
This new family of composite materials frequently exhibits remarkable improvements of mechanical and material properties when compared with virgin polymers or conventional micro- and macro-composites. Improvements can include a high storage modulus both in solid and molten states, increased tensile and flexural properties, a decrease in gas permeability and flammability, increased heat distortion temperature and thermal stability, increase in the biodegradation rate, and so forth.
