Abstract
Preliminary findings on the fabrication of a bio-composite are presented. Polylactic acid was blended with Ulex europaeus particles, compression moulding was used to produce samples, and the mechanical properties of fabricated composites were tested. Polylactic acid reinforced with a 5% (wt) of U. europaeus attained the highest tensile strength (53.118 MPa), impact strength (1.3 kJ m−2) and flexural strength (101.235 MPa). Various defects, such as air bubbles and particle agglomeration, were found to be responsible for the decrease in mechanical properties. This issue should be contemplated in future studies.
期刊介绍：
The Bulletin of Materials Science is a bi-monthly journal being published by the Indian Academy of Sciences in collaboration with the Materials Research Society of India and the Indian National Science Academy. The journal publishes original research articles, review articles and rapid communications in all areas of materials science. The journal also publishes from time to time important Conference Symposia/ Proceedings which are of interest to materials scientists. It has an International Advisory Editorial Board and an Editorial Committee. The Bulletin accords high importance to the quality of articles published and to keep at a minimum the processing time of papers submitted for publication.
