Impact of biochar on the fungal decay resistance of hemp-polylactic acid composites against wood basidiomycetes

Natural fibers reinforced composites represent a sustainable alternative to synthetic polymer-based materials. However, natural fibers are susceptible to fungal degradation which reduces the lifespan of the composites in use. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of biochar (BC)...
