Thermal stability of NaOH modified rice husk fiber-reinforced polylactic acid composites: Effect of rice husks and clay loading

This work studied the synthesis, thermal behaviour and combustion properties of clay/modified rice husk fiber-reinforced PLA composites. Raw rice husks, NaOH modified rice husks, clay and Polylactic acid (PLA) were used as raw materials. SEM analysis revealed that at 1 wt% clay and 10 wt% rice husks...
