Abstract

The extended use of bio-composites for the manufacturing of vehicle components would largely benefit the industry. However, the properties of biocomposites, their mechanical performance under different environments and the effect of different loading conditions are still unclear. Systematic studies have been conducted on flax/PLA biocomposites, to determine the phenomena dominating their mechanical behaviour and their potential use in structural automotive applications.
