In this study, an analysis of the fabrication parameters that influence on the strength of biodegradable
composites is presented. The effect of heating temperature, pressure, number of plies, fibre, and
matrix on the tensile strength was studied. Biodegradable composites were manufactured using film
stacking and compression moulding process. The strengths of biocomposite based on two different
polylactic acid (PLA) matrix, and reinforced with four different woven fibres of jute, flax and cotton were
compared. The aim of this work is the development of an optimised manufacture process to reduce
costs and production time of high strength biocomposites. As a result, a tensile strength higher than
100 MPa was obtained with a preheating time of 2 min and 3 min of heating under pressure. This result
means a significant reduction of production time that can lead to reduce the manufacture cost of these
materials.
