  Abstract: The increasing environmental burden caused by conventional petroleum-based plastics has driven significant interest in the development of sustainable polymer composites reinforced with renewable natural fibers. In the present work, corn husk fiber (CHF), an agricultural waste by-product, was utilized as a reinforcing phase in a polylactic acid (PLA) matrix to fabricate eco-friendly biocomposites. Composite samples with varying fiber loadings (0–40 wt.%) were produced through twin-screw melt blending followed by compression …
