Natural and man-made cellulose fibre-reinforced poly(lactic acid)(PLA)composites: An overview about mechanical characteristics and application areas
- Composites: Part A, 40(6-7), p.810-821, 2009 .
The paper describes the production and the mechanical characteristics of composites made completely of renewable raw materials. Composites of different kinds of natural fibres like cotton, hemp, kenaf and man-made cellulose fibres (Lyocell)with various characteristics were processed with a fibre mass proportion of 40
