Cellulose kraft pulp reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) composites: effect of fibre moisture content

PLA offers a competitive and CO<sub>2</sub> neutral matrix to commonly used polyolefin polymer based composites. Moreover, the use of PLA reduces dependency on oil when producing composite materials. However, PLA has a tendency of hydrolytic degradation under melt processing conditions i...
