This study investigates the effect of alkali treatment on the thermal degradation and thermal stability of hemp, and hemp reinforced Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) composites. The results indicate that thermal stability of the composites decreases with increase in fiber loading due to the lower thermal stability of hemp compared to PLA matrix. The alkali treated composites have shown higher thermal stability in comparison to untreated hemp-PLA composites due to the increased fiber-matrix bonding.
