摘要
Poly（lactic acid）-based biocomposites were developed with hemp hurd （Cannabis sativa L.） with grafting-based interfacial compatibilization. Poly（lactic acid） was extruded with hemp hurd and glycidyl methacrylate as the polymer/hurd interfacial compatibilizer, and injection molded. Interfacial compatibility between poly（lactic acid） and hemp hurd increased with grafted glycidyl methacrylate in comparison to the non-compatibilized control, as corroborated by scanning electron microscopy fractog- raphy and mechanical analysis, which showed increases in the glycidyl methacrylate-grafted 20% （w/w） hemp hurd/poly（lactic acid） biocomposite, retaining 94% of the neat polymer strength, with increases in crystallinity, and showing a range of thermo-mechanical properties desirable for rigid biocomposite aoolications.
