Multifunctional Corn Husk Fiber/PLA–PBAT Hybrid Composites with Carbon-Black Percolation for Structural Self-Sensing Applications
This study developed multifunctional polymer composites based on a PLA/PBAT (Polylactic Acid/ Poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)) thermoplastic matrix reinforced with 20 wt.% corn husk fiber (CHF) and functionalized with conductive carbon black (CB) for smart consumer-electronics casings. Alkali treatment modified...
