摘要
The main objective of this project was to investigate two low cost treatment methods, namely bag retting and treatment with white rot fungi, which could be applied to hemp fibre with low environmental impact to improve its interfacial bonding with polypropylene. Wet chemical analysis, FTIR, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), zeta potential and single fibre tensile testing were used to characterise the effect of treatment on hemp fibres. It was found that all the treatments increased the tensile strength of composites. White rot fungi Schizophyllum commune (S.com) treated fibre composites had the highest tensile strength of 45 MPa, an increase of 28% compared to composites using untreated fibre.
