Enhancement on Mechanical and Thermal Properties of PLA Biocomposites Due to the Addition of Hybrid Sisal Fibers

Hybrid sisal fibers (HSFs) were made by mixing untreated sisal fibers (USFs) with alkali treated sisal fibers (ASFs), and blended with PLA matrix to make PLA/HSFs composite. It was found that the reinforced effect of HSFs was better than that of ASFs. Impact strength and crystallinity of PLA/HSFs ha...
