Injection moulded PLA composites reinforced with banana fibre particles obtained after ball milling
Original language description
The purpose of the present paper is to explore the reinforcing capabilities of banana fibres at nano/micro scale in injection moulded PLA composites, after minimisation of structural defects and removal of noncellulosic contents. Banana fibres were refined to nano/micro scale particles by high energy planetary ball milling in dry condition for one hour. These particles were then added in Poly lactic acid (PLA) as reinforcing fillers for preparation of green composites by injection moulding. Various testing methods (tensile, flexural and impact) were performed to investigate the mechanical performance of composites. It was observed that the mechanical properties of composites containing untreated banana fibre particles decreased significantly. On the other hand, composites with chemically treated banana fibre particles showed significant improvement in impact properties by 45% and negligible improvement in tensile and flexural properties.
