Sludge Fiber Waste and Kraft Lignin Powder as Fillers in Polylactic Acid Biocomposites: Physical, Mechanical, and Thermal Properties

In this investigation, sludge fibre waste (SFW) and Kraft lignin powder (KLP) are introduced into polylactic acid (PLA) matrix biocomposites. These alternative materials allow for both the reuse of fibre waste from paper mill sludge and a reduction in the amount of high-cost biopolymer used in the s...
