Fibre orientation of novel dynamically sheet formed discontinuous natural fibre PLA composites

This paper describes work carried out to fabricate and to assess the fibre orientation in PLA reinforced by aligned discontinuous harakeke and hemp fibre mats produced using a dynamic sheet former (DSF). These mats were combined with PLA sheets to make composites with fibre contents of 5–40 wt% usin...
