Composite films from kenaf derived cellulose (KDC) fibers and polylactic acid (PLA)

Composite films were prepared from kenaf derived cellulose fibers (KDC) and polylactic acid (PLA) resin by melt blending using an internal mixer. Cellulose was derived from kenaf via standard ASTM D1104 method. The composites were incorporated with 0 to 60 % (dry weight basis) of KDC fiber loading i...
