Thermo-Mechanical Properties of PLA/Short Flax Fiber Biocomposites

In this work, biocomposites based on poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and short flax fibers (10−40 wt.%) were produced by extrusion and characterized in terms of thermal, mechanical, morphological, and thermo-mechanical properties. Analytical models were adopted to predict the tensile properties (s...
