Biodegradable Composites Reinforced with Kenaf Fibers: Thermal, Mechanical, and Morphological Issues

Advances in Polymer Technology, 2012
AbstractKenaf fiber reinforced composites were prepared via melt mixing using completely biodegradable poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐3‐hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and poly(butylenes adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT). Kenaf fibers were used as received and after chemical treatments aimed to improve fiber–matrix adhesion.
