Polylactic acid (PLA) is a thermoplastic polyester that has been commercialized for use in biodegradable plastic bags and planting cups. Recent research and development efforts show that it is also a superior composite matrix material. Flax reinforced PLA composites, which are readily extrusion and compression molded, were found to have 50% higher strength than other flax reinforced thermoplastic composites which are already being used in automotive panels.
