Özet
Applying surface modification routes to natural fibers is a practical option for solving the incompatibility problem in polymeric composites. This study aimed to improve the properties of biodegradable and environmentally friendly polybutylene succinate (PBS) composites involving flax fiber (FF) with unmodified, alkalization, and silanization surface modification applied at 20 wt%. The surface modifications were successfully characterized by FTIR and SEM. The composites were prepared using a twin‐screw extruder followed by injection molding. The mechanical, thermal, thermo‐mechanical, wear, water absorption, biodegradation, and morphological properties were evaluated. The incorporation of FF improved the mechanical and thermal performance of PBS, while the surface modifications further increased the fiber‐matrix adhesion. In particular, the silanized FF provided water resistance due to the hydrophobic …
