Anete Smoča

Bio-composite materials with different proportions of hemp fibres in the PLA matrix were compared and their water absorption was investigated. Technical hemp and polylactide (PLA) fibres were evenly blended using carding technology. The obtained blanks were treated for thermosetting at a fixed temperature of 180 oC and a pressure of 100 kN, as well as controlled heating, compression and cooling time was applied. Bio-composite samples were tested following the water absorption standard LVS EN ISO 62:2008.
