Thermo-Mechanical and Morphological Properties of Short Natural Fiber Reinforced Poly (Lactic Acid) Biocomposite: Effect of Fiber Treatment

Untreated oil palm empty fruit bunch (REFB), alkali treated EFB (AEFB), ultrasound treated EFB (UEFB) and simultaneous ultrasound-alkali treated EFB (UAEFB) short fibers were incorporated in poly(lactic acid) (PLA) for fabricating bio-composites. The REFB fiber-PLA (REPC) and treated EFB (TEFB) fibe...
