The poly (lactic acid) (PLA)/ rice straw (RS) composites with various RS content ratios were prepared by using heated two roll-mill. The mechanical performances of prepared PLA/ RS composites were studied. The tensile strength and elongation at break, Eb of the composite decreases as the content of rice straw fiber increases from 5% to 25% while the Young’s modulus had increases. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis demonstrates the infrared absorption of PLA after the existing of RS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
