Abstract

This paper examines the influence of hybridization on mechanical and thermal properties of biocomposites. Kenaf and Aloevera fibers were treated by NaOH treatment to improve the bonding with Polylactic acid. Kenaf (30 wt%) reinforced Polylactic acid (70 wt%) and Aloevera (30 wt%) reinforced Polylactic acid (70 wt%) biocomposites, and Kenaf/Aloevera (15/15 wt%) reinforced Polylactic acid (70 wt%) hybrid biocomposite are prepared by extruder and compression molding process. The fabricated bio and hybrid biocomposites were used to illustrate the impact and thermal properties of biocomposites. Treated Kenaf/Aloevera fiber (15/15 wt%) reinforced Polylactic acid (70 wt%) hybrid biocomposite exhibits higher mechanical and thermal properties than other biocomposites.
