  • Description:   Hemp cultivation is one of the possibilities to use agricultural land of Latvia. Mechanical and physical properties of hemp fiber and its chemical structure is suitable for using as a reinforcement, but polypropilene (PP) fibers and PolyLactic Acid (PLA) fibers as a matrix for bio-composites. Compression molding is the most common composite processing technology. Composites with the content of 20 % - 40% of natural fiber could provide optimal mechanical properties. The demand for bio-composites with improved properties will be increasing in the future. Sandwich structure of bio-composite is one of the ways to protect natural fiber from heating degradation.
