Mechanical properties of RH filled PLA composites.
| Matrix | RH (wt%) | Coupling agent or compatibilizer (wt%) | Tensile strength (MPa) (% incr.) | Tensile modulus (GPa) (% incr.) | Flexural strength (MPa) (% incr.) | Impact strength (Jm−1) (% incr.) Unnot. | Reference |
| PLA | AT RHF (25) | — | 7.35 (−82) | — | 13.9 (−84) | — | [48] |
| PLA | WT RHF (25) | — | 39.47 (−21) | — | 52.4 (−39) | — | [48] |
| PLLA/starch (42/42) | 5 | TC/MDI (10/1) | 8.58 | 0.062 | — | 35.23 | [49] |
| PLLA/starch (37/37) | 15 | TC/MDI (10/1) | 14.58 | 0.225 | — | 22.31 | [49] |
