Overview

Randomized trial assesses mechanical performance of PBAT composites with hemp fiber, suggesting improved stiffness with PBAT powder.

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore the impact of PBAT pellet and powder forms on the properties of hemp fiber-reinforced composites, focusing on stiffness and thermoforming feasibility.
  • Utilized dynamic mechanical analysis and high temperature tensile tests to assess thermoforming behavior.
  • Compared mechanical properties of PBAT composites with hemp fiber using both PBAT powder and pellet forms.
  • Young's modulus of PBAT composites improved from 83 MPa to 703 MPa, an increase of approximately 747%.
  • PBAT powder/HF composites outperformed PBAT pellet/HF composites in mechanical properties, enhancing stiffness.
  • Thermal stability of the composites slightly decreased with the addition of hemp fiber.
