Mechanical, thermal and biodegradable properties of polylactic acid (PLA)/coir fibre biocomposites

Mechanical, thermal and biodegradable properties of polylactic acid (PLA)/coir fibre biocomposites

Polylactic acid (PLA)/coir fibre biocomposites were fabricated using a compression moulding technique. The effects of fibre content (5-30 wt%) and fibre treatment on mechanical, thermal and biodegradable properties of biocomposites were holistically investigated via mechanical testing, scanning elec...
