The main aim of this study was to synthesis of poly (lactic acid) (PLA)-graft-glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) as well as its influence on the properties of PLA/banana fiber biocomposites. PLA-graft-GMA graft copolymer (GC) was synthesized by melt blending PLA with GMA using benzoyl peroxide and dicumyl peroxide as initiators. Graft copolymerization was confirmed by FTIR and 1 H-NMR spectroscopic studies. PLA/silane treated banana fiber (SiB) biocomposites with various GC concentrations were prepared by melt blending followed by injection molding techniques. The influence of GC content on the mechanical, thermal and moisture resistance properties of the composite was investigated. The addition of 15 wt% GC content in the biocomposite provided optimum tensile and flexural strength, which is attributed to the greater compatibility between fiber and PLA matrix. The thermal properties of biocomposites have been evaluated using thermogravimetric analysis which provided evidence of improved interfacial adhesion between SiB and PLA by the addition of GC. Additionally, GC enhanced the moisture absorption resistance of biocomposites. These results indicated that GC is indeed a good candidate as a compatibilizing agent to improve the compatibility in PLA/fiber biocomposites.

“…The fillers used include cotton linters maple hardwood fibre [183], sweet sorghum fibre [184], bamboo fibre [185], ramie fibre [18], and lyocell fibre [188]. Most of these studies show that it is possible to achieve various degrees of improvement in tensile and flexural strength and significant increases in modulus with the creation of the respective composites.…”

“…Regarding potential industrial application, fiber strength is one of the most important characteristics. Natural fibers include sisal (Li et al, 2008), flax (Zhang et al, 2013), ramie (Yu et al, 2014), bamboo (Takagi and Ichihara, 2004), and abaca (Liu et al, 2013) exhibit good strength and are thus suitable for fabrication of fiber-reinforced composites.…”
