DOI: 10.1002/app.45448
Abstract: Miscanthus fibers reinforced biodegradable poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) matrix-based biocomposites were produced by melt processing. The performances of the produced PBAT/miscanthus composites were evaluated by means of mechanical, thermal, and morphological analysis. Compared to neat PBAT,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3134
Abstract: Abstract Perennial grasses are promising candidates for bioenergy crops, but species that can escape cultivation and establish self‐sustaining naturalized populations (feral) may have the potential to become invasive. Fertile Miscanthus × giganteus, known as “PowerCane,”… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biosystemseng.2018.08.007
Abstract: The bulk density with current baling technology is too low to utilise the full transportation capacity. For square bales, bulk density is limited by the pressure generated by the baler, density settings, and the ability… read more here.
