| Abstract: |
Highlights: [•] The hybrid fibers consist of PALF and recycled disposable chopstick fiber. [•] The hybrid fibers were incorporated into biodegradable polymers (PLA and PBS). [•] The composite containing 30wt% of hybrid fiber exhibits the best properties. [•] The tensile strength of PBS can be improved by 121.7%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
