The Role of Fiber Architecture in Interfacial Adhesion and Fracture Toughness of Polylactic Acid/Lignocellulosic Fiber Biocomposites
This work investigates the influence of fiber architecture on the fracture toughness and interfacial adhesion of polylactic acid (PLA) biocomposites reinforced with coir, fique, and sisal fibers. Composites containing 1, 3, and 5 wt.% fiber were prepared under identical processing conditions using untreated and alk...
