Development and characterization of PLA-based green composites (2014, background): “Huda et al.94 reported the flexural and impact properties of PLA/kenaf fiber biocomposites with alkalization and silane treat- ment of fibers.”
Effect of surface treatment on thermal stability of the hemp-PLA composites: Correlation of activation energy with thermal degradation (2014, background): “The three most commonly used surface modification are chemical [7,10,11], phystion of fibers has been used frequently due to the ease of modification and for the formation of chemical and mechanical bonding between the fiber and matrix.”
Comparison of Polylactic Acid/Kenaf and Polylactic Acid/Rise Husk Composites: The Influence of the Natural Fibers on the Mechanical, Thermal and Biodegradability Properties (2010, background): “Therefore, as a result of that the research of biodegradable polymers has gained considerable attention in recent years [3, 4]. Biodegradable polymers such as polylactic acid (PLA), a corn-based polymer, provide a unique opportunity and have been the subject of many studies in the past decade [5, 6”
Comparative studies of mechanical and morphological properties of polylactic acid and polypropylene based natural fiber composites (2012, background): “Huda et al.13 studied the impact properties of PLA/kenaf fiber bio-composites with silane treatments of fibers and concluded that composites showed a decrease in impact strength as compared to neat PLA matrix.”
