Influence of Coupling Agents and a Carbodiimide-Based Hydrolysis Stabilizer on the (Thermo)Mechanical Properties and Water Degradation of Poly(L-Lactide)- and Polyamide 11-Based Flax Fiber-Reinforced Composites

Abstract This study examines the thermal and (thermo)mechanical properties of flax twill-reinforced composites (FFRCs) with a fiber volume content of approx. 51 vol%. The bio-based thermoplastics poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and polyamide 11 (PA11), as well as a PLLA/PA11 blend were us...
