Abstract
This report describes an investigation into polybutylene succinate reinforced with sisal fibres for the development of a fully biodegradable composite with superior mechanical properties. The influence of fibre length, fibre content and surface treatment of the fibres on the mechanical properties of the composite were evaluated. 18 refs.
