The design, optimisation and control of composite interfaces is the most crucial issue in composite engineering and more so in green composites, because of the known incompatibility of the reinforcing fibres and many polymers used as matrix. Here we will present a novel route to design the interfaces in natural fibre reinforced biobased polymers. Our process allows for the production of fully renewable fibre reinforced cellulose nanocomposites.
