Overview

This investigation reveals enhanced tensile strength and modulus in biocomposites with treated flax fiber, suggesting potential in sustainable materials.

Key Points

  • Adding treated flax fiber improves tensile strength by 16% and Young's modulus by 81%, indicating enhanced material performance.
  • Compression tests reveal a 23% strength increase with untreated fibers, while chemical treatment decreases performance, highlighting treatment trade-offs.
  • Microscopic analysis shows voids affecting mechanical properties, confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy results.
  • The findings suggest that flax fiber-reinforced PLA biocomposites have significant potential for sustainable additive manufacturing applications.
