Abstract

In the present study, transverse mechanical properties of hemp fiber reinforced poly(lactic acid) (PLA) composites were investigated. Three molding conditions were selected according to a previous study. To discuss the effects of matrix properties on composite properties, monolithic PLA specimens were also prepared at molding temperature of 170, 190, 210, and 230 °C. It is confirmed that the weight-averaged molecular weight affected on the mechanical properties of monolithic PLA and also on the transverse properties of PLA.
