MECHANICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF KENAF-DERIVED CELLULOSE (KDC)-FILLED POLYLACTIC ACID (PLA) COMPOSITES

MECHANICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF KENAF-DERIVED CELLULOSE (KDC)-FILLED POLYLACTIC ACID (PLA) COMPOSITES

Kenaf-derived cellulose (KDC)-filled poly(lactic acid) (PLA) composites were prepared via melt blending and compression molding to improve the properties of PLA by introducing a natural cellulose that was chemically derived (chlorination and mercerization processes) from plant-based kenaf bast fiber...
