In this study, composites of thermoplastic poly (lactic acid) filled with wood flour (WF) were prepared via melt extrusion. Before that, alkali treatment was performed on WF to improve the properties of the WF/PLA composite materials. The effect of the solution concentrations of NaOH, namely 0.5, 1.0, 5.0, and 10.0%, on mechanical properties of the composites was evaluated. The results showed that the properties of the composites with treated WF were enhanced greatly compared with that of the untreated composites. The composites had a best improvement in its compatibility and mechanical strength when the concentration of NaOH solution was 5.0%. The brittle fracture of composites showed that the chemical modification of WFs improved the compatibility between the filler and matrix.
