dc.description.abstractPlant source-based stiff fiber reinforced bioplastics based on natural plant derived substances show promise of providing degradation back into the environment when they are no longer needed. These "green" composites have enormous potential to replace materials originated from non-renewable resources and may turn out to be one of the material revolutions of this century. Unlike synthetic composites, "green" composites are renewable, carbon neutral, biodegradable, nonpetroleum based, and have low environmental, human health and safety risks. In this paper effect of pineapple leaf fiber (PALF) length and physical surface treatment on to the properties of the composites was investigated at 10% wt. loading. In order to improve compatibility and composite properties of PALF/poly(lactic acid) composites without any hazardous chemicals that are usually involved in the process, dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma surface treatment was conducted for fiber modification. Therefore more environmentally friendlier and industrially scalable technology was implemented in processing of composites by twin screw extrusion and injection moulding. Resulted composites were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermal and mechanical testing. © 2016 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.en
