On The Use Of Nano Fibrillated Kenaf Cellulose Fiber As Reinforcement In Polylactic Acid Biocomposites

In this study, nano fibrillated kenaf cellulose (NFKC) derived from kenaf fiber after varying chemico-mechanical treatments were introduced into poly lactic acid (PLA) as reinforcements to improve the mechanical and morphological properties of the biocomposites. The new strategy was aiming to realiz...
