Polymer Composites, EarlyView.Preparation and testing of biodegradable polymer ternary blends and composites with short flax fibres. ABSTRACT Bioplastics offer environmental benefits but they are costly and exhibit lower mechanical and thermal performance compared to fossil‐based counterparts. Poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) exhibits high ductility but relatively low

Exploring biofiber properties and their influence on biocomposite tensile properties
Polymer International, EarlyView.The study measured the physical, flow and chemical properties of 10 biofibers. It characterized the tensile properties of derived biocomposites and linked them using regression models, showing robust predictive performance. Abstract Biofibers serve as effective reinforcements for neat polylactic acid (PLA) in biocomposites, offering an attractive ...
