Synergistic effects of annealing heat treatment and lignocellulose fiber incorporation on the thermal, mechanical, and water absorption properties of poly(lactic acid)‐based biocomposites

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
The effect of molecular structure on the moisture absorption of PLA/cellulose biocomposites. Abstract This study investigates the effect of annealing heat treatment on polymer composites composed entirely of biodegradable components. Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was used as the matrix material paired with three different types of commercial lignocellulose ...
