“…Although they are not biodegradable, carbon and glass fibers are artificial fibers that are frequently utilized to strengthen bioplastics. Therefore they can be replaced with readily available, affordable, and sustainable materials, called lignocellulosic fibers [ 6 , 7 ].…”

“…One of the clear trends currently occurring in the world of composites is the replacement of reinforcing synthetic fibers by natural fibers. This is, among other things, due to the good availability, high specific strength, and low cost of natural fibers [6,[37][38][39][40][41]. Although, traditional plant fibers have found wide application in the textile, paper production, and packaging industries, their unique properties are increasing their popularity in the production of biodegradable composite materials [10].…”

Biocomposites based on polylactic acid (PLA), tall wheatgrass (TWG), and hemp (H) were made by injection molding. The article discusses the impact of the agrofiller content on the composite properties, including thermal (DSC, DMA, and TG) and mechanical characteristics (tensile modulus, tensile strength, and impact strength). Generally, the introduction of a plant filler into the polylactide matrix reduced the thermal resistance of the resulting composites. Plant fillers influenced primarily the cold crystallization process, probably due to their nucleating properties. The addition of fillers to the PLA matrix resulted in an increased storage modulus across all tested temperatures compared to pure PLA. In the case of a composite with 50% of plant fillers, it was almost 118%. The mechanical properties of the tested composites depended significantly on the amount of plant filler used. It was observed that adding 50% of plant filler to PLA led to a twofold increase in tensile modulus and a decrease in tensile strength and impact strength by an average of 23 and 70%, respectively. It was determined that composites incorporating tall wheatgrass (TWG) particles exhibited a slightly elevated tensile modulus while showcasing a marginally reduced strength and impact resistance in comparison to composites containing hemp (H) components.
