“…This density reduction is due to voids formation owing to fiber agglomeration, weak fiber-matrix interface, and extractable vaporization (Mahfoudh et al 2013). Also, the decrease in the density is more evident in RM biocomposites due to the rotational molding process's low-shear nature, which produces their morphology observed in Figure 1 (Robledo-Ortíz et al 2020). The treated samples' density is not presented since no changes were observed by the thermal annealing treatment.…”

“…Samples were fabricated by using the extrusion process and, to find out the fiber orientation effectiveness, composites are cut by various off-set angles for comparison purposes and the results showed that at zero angle, composites showed the best mechanical properties whereas at 90 degrees some deviation was observed. Robledo-Ortiz et al developed green polyethylene natural fiber bio composites by using a rotational molding technique [ 57 ]. In this work, composites were prepared by using the rotomolded (rotational molding) technique to develop the bio composites.…”

“…21 Also, the agave fibers have relatively high crystallinity (70%), good mechanical properties, and thermal stability up to 220 C, 22 which make them appropriate as reinforcements for petroleum-based and bio-based polymers. 23,24 Based on the limited literature available on rotomolded PLA-natural fiber biocomposites, the main objective of this study is to determine the effect of chemical surface treatment of agave fibers with GMA-g-PLA to improve the fiber-matrix compatibility and to achieve better mechanical properties, especially at the higher fiber content. From the samples produced, a comparison with one of the most used rotomolded resins, linear medium density polyethylene (LMDPE), is made.…”
