Abstract
PLA was physically modified by filling with an inorganic additive, natural fibre with additional of tributyl citrate (TBC) plasticizer. PLA composites were prepared with a film stacking method and analysed by SEM and thermomechanometry to investigate the physical and mechanical properties of the hybrid composites. TBC improved the interfacial interaction of hemp fibres with the PLA Nanosilica matrix as revealed by SEM morphology. The thermomechanical properties of PLA composites showed that the reinforcement of hemp fibre and Nanosilica enhanced the mechanical properties of the composites. Efficient dispersion of Nanosilica resulted in strong interfacial interaction between PLA matrix and Nanosilica, improved the mechanical performance of the PLA matrix.
