Interfacial engineering, processing, and microstructure relationships in PLA/Diss fiber biocomposites for improved mechanical performance
This study reports the development of fully bio-based polylactic acid (PLA) biocomposites reinforced with short Ampelodesmos mauritanicus (Diss) fibers using a powder-based processing route. To improve fiber-matrix compatibility, the fibers were subjected to sequential HCl/NaOH treatment to modify their surface mor...
