Effect of Nucleating Agents Addition on Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Natural Fiber-Reinforced Polylactic Acid Composites
Jae-Yeon Yang,Dong-Kyu Kim,Woo Seok Nam and Gui Young Han,Jongyeop Park,K. W. Kim,Byung Joo Kim +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper , natural fiber-reinforced polylactic acid (NFRP) composite materials were prepared by adding nucleating agents (NAs) and natural fiber (NF) to compensate for the low thermal stability and brittleness of poly lactic acid, and the tensile modulus of elasticity according to the crystallinity of the composite was measured.
