“…It is widely accepted that the use of long-lasting polymers for short-term and disposable applications, such as packaging, is not entirely satisfactory [1]. As a result, the biopolymer industry is growing rapidly since biodegradables polymers made from renewable resources have a less negative effect on the environment compared to the conventional petroleum based materials largely used in commodities [2].…”

“…Polylactide (PLA) is one of the most promising bio-based polyester for food packaging [1,2] because of its good mechanical, superior transparency, ease of processing and availability in the market [3]. In this sense, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is one of the most attractive biopolymers with many short-term or disposable applications, such as disposable cutlery (plates, cups, lids and drinking straws), bags and film packaging [4,5].…”

“…Much research has been made to reinforce PLA with typically natural plant fibres [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] or even with glass [26] or basalt [27] fibres to make PLA based biocomposites suitable for high temperature engineering applications. By incorporating natural plant fibres to PLA in order to increase HDT it is critical to form strong connection between the fibres and the matrix.…”

“…Despite the significant amount of research, the increase of HDT is only a few times reported, which can be related to the low modulus of plant fibres. At the same time the fibres not only increase the modulus of the PLA, but the nucleating effect of microcellulose [10,11] and nanocellulose [12,13] fibre derivates was also demonstrated, however, significant crystallinity was only proved to develop at low cooling rates as 2°C min -1 [13], 5°C min -1 [10], 10°C min -1 [11,12] by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) tests. By using fibres with much higher stiffness like glass [26] and basalt fibres [27] the HDT was still only increased by 9°C and 5°C respectively.…”
