Owing to its biodegradability, durability, low cost and potential material to replace existing commercial products in the field of engineering applications, nowadays there is a lot of interest in the field of green composites. It is formed by a mixture of biodegradable polymers and natural fibers and has a potential to replace synthetic polymer based composites. In this research work flax fibers are used as reinforcement and Poly-lactic acid (PLA) as matrix material for the development of Flax/PLA composites. The effects of processing parameters such as fiber volume fraction ranging from 25% to 50% and molding temperature ranging from 160°C to 180°C on mechanical properties of flax/PLA composites were investigated. It is concluded from the results that maximum tensile and flexural strength are recorded at 35% fiber volume fraction of flax/PLA composites developed at 170°C molding temperature. SEM analysis validated the findings obtained from the mechanical characterization.

由于其可生物降解性、耐用性、低成本以及在工程应用领域替代现有商业产品的潜在材料，如今人们对绿色复合材料领域产生了浓厚的兴趣。它由可生物降解的聚合物和天然纤维的混合物形成，有可能取代基于合成聚合物的复合材料。在这项研究工作中，亚麻纤维用作增强材料，聚乳酸 (PLA) 用作开发亚麻/PLA 复合材料的基质材料。研究了加工参数如纤维体积分数范围为 25% 至 50% 和成型温度范围为 160°C 至 180°C 对亚麻/PLA 复合材料机械性能的影响。结果表明，在 170°C 成型温度下开发的亚麻/PLA 复合材料的纤维体积分数为 35% 时，记录了最大拉伸和弯曲强度。SEM 分析验证了从机械表征中获得的结果。
