| Abstract | Eco-friendly “green” composites made from flax fibers and biodegradable corn starch-based matrix were successfully prepared by hot pressing. Thermoplastic starch (TPS) was obtained by blending native corn starch with glycerin and water. The plasticized starch was emulsified before being added to the previously NaOH-treated flax fibers. The flax content was varied from 20 to 80 wt%. The composites were preheated and then pressed at 5 MPa and 160°C for 30 minutes. Density measurements showed low porosity for all composites up to 50 wt% fibers. SEM investigation showed strong adhesion at fiber-matrix interface and good fibers wettability. Static tensile and flexural mechanical properties (stiffness and strength) of the composites appeared to increase with the fiber weight fraction increase up to 50 wt%. Increasing fiber content also improved composite stability in thermal degradation, water uptake and biodegradation. Some micromechanical models are used to study the tensile strength and modulus of the obtained composites such as the Kelly-Tyson and Halpin–Tsai equations. The present work shows that 50 wt% composite has competitive properties, qualifying this material to be affordable and appropriate for different applications. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
