Dual Effects of Thermal Annealing on Rotomolded PLA Biocomposites: A Fiber-Content Study
Rotational molding is a shear-free technology to produce hollow plastic parts. Rotomolded poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and its biocomposites remain in a largely amorphous state, which limits their stiffness, toughness, and thermal resistance. Post-processing thermal annealing develops crystallinity without additives, but it...
