In this study, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) of polylactide (PLA) biocomposites reinforced with hemp fibers were analyzed. Three samples of biocomposites with different proportions of hemp fibers in the PLA matrix were compared. Hemp and PLA fibers in biocomposite were evenly blended using carding technology. Samples before and after water absorption were compared using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
