PLA/Kenaf/APP biocomposites: effect of alkali treatment and ammonium polyphosphate (APP) on dynamic mechanical and morphological properties

Kenaf-filled polylactic acid (PLA) biocomposites were prepared using dry blending, twin screw extrusion and compression molding. PLA was blended with raw and alkali treated kenaf, polyethylene glycol and ammonium polyphosphate (APP). Dynamic mechanical properties of biocomposites were investigated b...
