“…Apart from being biodegradable, the fact that PLA originated from a renewable resource for example corn, potatoes, sugar beets and wheat, makes it recognized as a material with low environmental burden.Among thousands of natural fibers, kenaf and rice husk have attract interest of researchers. Kenaf is an excellent source for cellulose fibers with less energy and chemical requirements than standard wood sources [3]. In addition, it grows up faster and can be planted in a wide range of weather, and has been actively cultivated [4].…”

The paper investigates the microwave properties of natural fiber reinforced biodegradable plastic composites in order to recognize their potential as alternatives to common printed circuit board (PCB) for electronic communication industries. Thus, the paper reports on measured dielectric properties for two new composites under study: Kenaf/Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) and rice husk/PLA and their results are compared. The sample is made from equal weight percentage loading (50%wt - 50%wt) of kenaf and PLA. Another sample has also equal weight percentage loading (50% wt - 50%wt) of rice husk and PLA. The complex dielectric permittivity (ε = ε' – jε'') and loss tangent (tan δ) of the two samples of natural fibers plastic composites have been studied in the frequency range of 500 MHz to 10 GHz. The dielectric permittivity is measured by scattering parameter (S-parameter) using a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA). The concentration dependence of permittivity and loss tangent is analyzed for each sample. It is observed that from 500 MHz to 3.32 GHz, real permittivity (ε') values are consistent throughout the wide frequency range, at approximately 3.3. However, the permittivity seems to decrease at higher frequencies starting from 3.35 GHz for both samples, down to 2.5 at 10 GHz. Measured results show that kenaf/PLA mixture has higher permittivity (ε') than the rice husk/PLA composite across the wide frequency range. Meanwhile, loss tangent (tan δ) is low and remains similar for both types of fiber compositions.
