Effects of Bagasse Fiber on Crystallization, Morphological and Mechanical Properties of Poly(Lactic acid)

Abstract:

Polylactic acid (PLA)/bagasse fiber (BF) composites were prepared via melt blending. The melting and crystallization behavior, morphology and mechanical properties of the composites were studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mechanical tests. The results indicate that the crystallization ability of PLA is improved with the addition of BF. Silane treatment improves the adhesion between BF and the matrix. Compared with pure PLA, the flexural modulus increases, while the notched impact strength decreases for BF/PLA composites.
