AMAbigail MulliganAAAhmad AhmadPKPeter V. Kelly

Key Points

  • The aim is to enhance the mechanical properties of poly(lactic acid) composites using flax nanofibrils.
  • Produced flax nanofibrils through mechanical refining
  • Tested the strength of PLA composites with reinforced FNFs
  • Compared performance against traditional materials
  • Increased strength and sustainability of PLA composites
  • Improved mechanical properties noted with FNFs present
  • Demonstrated potential for broader applications in additive manufacturing

Abstract

Biobased reinforcements for poly(lactic acid) (PLA) are needed for more additive manufacturing applications requiring higher strength and sustainability. Flax nanofibrils (FNFs) produced through mechanical refining were explored as a lower...
