%X Modern society's growing demands for accountable  high-performance and more environmentally friendly materials is leading  to increased interest and fast development of sustainable polymeric  composite materials. New generations of "greener" products originating  from renewable resources fulfil emerging requirements of low  environmental and health & safety impacts and contribute to  diminishing global dependence on fossil feedstock. The preparation of  sustainable polymeric composites via  reliable and reproducible melt-compounding methods is still challenging  but has the potential to yield applicable and market competitive  products. This literature survey reviews the current state of research  involving the use of cellulosic materials, as bio-sourced and  sustainable reinforcement in melt-processed polyamides and focuses on  the main hurdles that prevent their successful large-scale  melt-compounding. Particular emphasis is dedicated to emerging  bio-sourced polyamides fitting the performance of engineering materials  and at the same time offering additional interesting properties for  advanced applications such as piezoelectricity for transducers, sensors,  actuators and energy harvesters.
