Kenaf‐fiber‐reinforced poly(lactic acid) used for electronic products
Abstract
We have developed high‐performance biomass‐based plastics that consist of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and kenaf fiber, which fixates CO 2 efficiently. Adding this fiber to PLA greatly increases its heat resistance (distortion temperature under load) and modulus and also enhances its crystallization, so the ease of molding this material is improved. Eliminating the short particles from the kenaf fiber improves its effect on the impact strength. Kenaf fiber without the particles exhibits effects on these characteristics of PLA practically comparable to the effects of glass fiber. Furthermore, adding a flexibilizer (a copolymer of lactic acid and aliphatic polyester) to the composites improves their strength. These composites (PLA/kenaf fiber and PLA/kenaf fiber/flexibilizer) show good practical characteristics for housing materials of electronic products in comparison with petroleum‐based plastics used in housing such as glass‐fiber‐reinforced acrylonitrile‐butadien‐styrene (ABS) resin. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
