Abstract
The main goal of the presented study is the development of industrial hemp fibre reinforced biocomposites. Matrix materials used are as follows: thermoplastic starch based systems, blends of biodegradable polymers – poly(vinylalcohol) and microbially produced polyester polyhydroxybutyrate. The correlation among hemp fibre content, matrix composition and characteristics of biocomposites has been demonstrated. Hydrophobic finishing of reinforced biocomposites with Rucostar DDD diminishes moisture absorption. Biodegradation of biocomposites has been found to be composition dependent.
