Experimental Study of Fiber Length and Orientation in Injection Molded Natural Fiber/Starch Acetate Composites

Composite compounds based on triethyl citrate plasticized starch acetate and hemp and flax fibers were prepared by melt processing. Plasticizer contents from 20 to 35 wt% and fiber contents of 10 and 40 wt% were used. The compounded composites were injection molded to tensile test specimens. The eff...
