Preparation and mechanical properties of novel bio-composite made of dynamically sheet formed discontinuous harakeke and hemp fibre mat reinforced PLA composites for structural applications
The objective of this study was to fabricate and assess the structure and mechanical performance of PLA reinforced by aligned discontinuous alkali treated natural fibre mats. The novel aspect of this work was in terms of composite processing, in particular, the use of fibre mats produced using a dyn...
