Polylactic acid (PLA) biocomposites reinforced with coir fibres: Evaluation of mechanical performance and multifunctional properties

Polylactic acid (PLA) biocomposites reinforced with coir fibres: Evaluation of mechanical performance and multifunctional properties

The effects of fibre content (5-30 wt%) and fibre treatment on surface morphology, tensile, flexural, thermal and biodegradable properties of polylactic acid (PLA)/coir fibre biocomposites were evaluated via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), mechanical testing, differential scanning calorimetry (D...
