Comparison of polylactic Acid/Kenaf and polylactic Acid/Rise husk composites: The influence of the natural fibers on the mechanical, thermal and biodegradability properties

This paper investigates and compares the performances of polylactic acid (PLA)/kenaf (PLA-K) and PLA/rice husk (PLA-RH) composites in terms of biodegradability, mechanical and thermal properties. Composites with natural fiber weight content of 20% with fiber sizes of less than 100 µm were produced f...
