Biodegradable poly(butylene succinate) (PBS)/Alfa fiber biocomposites were prepared through the compression molding method. Scanning electron microscopy images were acquired to assess the effects of reinforcement and homogenization of mixtures and to determine the characteristics of the microstructure. The rheological properties, melting, and crystallization behavior of neat PBS and its biocomposites were investigated. Regarding the thermal properties, it was observed that the presence of Alfa fibers facilitates the crystallization of the PBS matrix, which suggests that Alfa cellulose fiber acts as a nucleating agent. The rheological analysis suggests that the biocomposites show a better dynamic behavior with the addition of Alfa fibers. Indeed, the incorporation of fibers increased the complex modulus and complex viscosity of the composites. Also, increasing the percentage of fibers in the matrix induces percolation, the shift and change in the slope of Cole–Cole curve of the PBS/Alfa fiber composite compared to that of neat PBS indicate that the PBS microstructure has changed with the addition of fibers. Moreover, the improvement of biocomposites properties is believed to be largely attributable to the homogeneous dispersion of the Alfa fibers within the polymer matrix and also to the strong interfacial interactions between the two constituents.
