Bamboo fiber based cellulose nanocrystals/poly(Lactic Acid)/Poly(Butylene Succinate) nanocomposites: morphological, mechanical and thermal properties

The purpose of this work was to investigate the effect of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) from bamboo fiber on the properties of poly (lactic acid) (PLA)/poly (butylene succinate) (PBS) composites fabricated by melt mixing at 175 °C and then hot pressing at 180 °C. PBS and CNC (0.5, 0.75, 1, 1.5 wt.%)...
