  Effect of Processing Methods and Fiber Content on Mechanical and Abrasive Wear Performance of Sisal Fiber/PLA Biocomposites

  By Thota Venkateswara Rao, K. N. S. Suman, G. Bhanu Kiran

  Abstract: AbstractIn this work, an attempt is made to study the effect of processing methods and fiber content on mechanical properties and abrasive wear behavior of polylactide-based biocomposites reinforced with sisal fiber. Three processing methods namely film-stacking, melt- impregnation and solvent-impregnation were used for fabricating unidirectional sisal fiber- reinforced biocomposites. The impact of processing methods and fiber content on biocomposites was assessed through evaluation of mechanical properties, viscoelastic behavior and abrasive …
