Abstract | Bamboo charcoal (BC) derived from bamboo plants is one kind of well recognized multi-functional materials which has been used in various applications such as medical, cosmetic, food processing and health-related products. In this paper, BC particle is used as reinforcement for polylactic acid (PLA) to enhance its mechanical, thermal and optical properties. The comparison on tensile, flexural and impact properties of BC particle reinforced PLA composites (BC/PLA composites) with the content ranging from |
