Characterisation of natural fibre reinforced PLA foams prepared by supercritical CO2 assisted extrusion
Natural fibre reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) foams, as potential green replacements for petroleum-based polymer foams, were investigated. Highly porous (ε > 95%) microcellular PLA foams were manufactured by supercritical CO2 assisted extrusion process. To overcome the inherently low melt streng...
