Development and study of mechanical, thermal and water absorption properties of Chrysopogon Zizanioides fiber reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) composites

Key Points

• Improved mechanical properties enhance the durability of fiber reinforced composites.
• Thermal properties indicate effective heat resistance with Chrysopogon Zizanioides fibers incorporated.
• Water absorption tests show reduced moisture uptake, demonstrating material efficiency.
• The findings support the use of sustainable fibers in developing eco-friendly composites.
