Effect of plasticizer on fracture toughness of polylactic acid reinforced with kenaf fibre and montmorillonite hybrid biocomposites

Monocomposites and hybrid biocomposites based-polylactic acid (PLA) are developed for specific application. In this study, monocomposites are referred to PLA reinforced with kenaf fibre (KF) and PLA filled with montmorillonite (MMT) organoclay. Hybrid biocomposite is denoted to PLA/KF/MMT. Both mono...
