Mechanical Properties of PLA-Jute Composites by Using Natural Rubber and Epoxidized Natural Rubber as Impact Modifiers : Effect of Molding Technique

Ruksakulpiwat Y., Tonimit P., Kluengsamrong J., Suranaree University of Technology, TH

Jute fiber was used as a reinforcing fiber in poly (lactic acid) (PLA) composites. Natural rubber (NR) and epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) are used as impact modifiers of jute-PLA composite. The composite specimens were prepared [...]
