摘要：
In this study, biodegradable poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/Kenaf core composites with different amount of Kenaf core were prepared using screw extrusion. The Structure, thermal stability, mechanical properties, and biodegradation of bio-composites are evaluated. FTIR result shows the possible interaction between the Ken core and PLA matrix. The FESEM result showed that Kenaf core was uniformly disperse in PLA matrix. Tensile and flexural strength of PLA was improved Up to the 30%vol of kenaf core content. Young's modulus and hardness properties were improved by adding kenaf core into PLA matrix. Bio-composite density has been decreased by adding more kenaf core and water absorption of the compound was increased linear. High Kenaf core content was also found to increase the rate of biodegradability of PLA/kenaf core. It can be proven by exposure of the samples to the environment and weight loss in soil burial analysis. POLYM. COMPOS., 35:1220-1227, 2014. (c) 2013 Society of Plastics Engineers
