Arta Seile, Dana Almli

Hemp cultivation is one of the possibilities to use agricultural land of Latvia. Mechanical and physical properties of hemp fiber and its chemical structure is suitable for using as a reinforcement, but polypropilene (PP) fibers and PolyLactic Acid (PLA) fibers as a matrix for bio-composites. Compression molding is the most common composite processing technology. Composites with the content of 20 % – 40% of natural fiber could provide optimal mechanical properties. The demand for bio-composites with improved properties will be increasing in the future. Sandwich structure of bio-composite is one of the ways to protect natural fiber from heating degradation.
