Direct transformation of cellulose fibres into self-reinforced composites by partial oxypropylation

Bulk oxypropylation limited to the outer layer of cellulose fibres constitutes a straightforward approach to the preparation of a novel type of composite material made up of a thermoplastic sleeve (matrix) surrounding the unreacted core of the fibres (reinforcing elements).
