The Influence of Chemically Treated Hemp Fibre on the Mechanical Behavior and Thermal Properties of Polylactic Acid Made with FDM

Reinforcement with natural fibre has become a common place in range of industries the modern day. A polymer matrix can, however, boost strength reinforcing element. When it comes to fibres and polymers, they simply do not mix because their different hydrophobic hydrophilic properties. However, is designed be hydrophobic, are hydrophilic. This issue can now rectified alkalization silane binding agent. technique modifying may result both rise surface roughness reduction water attraction moisture content. In this research, effects alkaline treatment were demonstrated using mechanical testing Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). DSC TGA tests used assess materials’ chemical compositions thermal comparison other composites, those 2 percent showed improved performance. Hemp composites expected achieve great performance industrial applications by enduring treatment.
