This formulation was used to study the biodegradability of PLA and PLA/KBF biocomposites. It was found that the decompositions of the biocomposite were faster than pure PLA. The SEM morphology of the tensile fracture surface of the 30% and 50% of PLA/KBF biocomposites presented larger pores and degradation areas than smaller KBF loading (10 wt%). This result shows that the addition of larger fibre loading to the PLA matrix increased the micropore surface area of the PLA/KBF biocomposite hence accelerated the decompositions time of the biocomposites. 2014-01-02T07:34:18Z 2014-01-02T07:34:18Z 2012 Article Advanced Materials Research, vol. 576, 2012, pages 434-437 http://hdl.handle.net/123456789/30946 en Trans Tech Publications |
