A thermoplastic bio-polyester, PLA is based on lactic acids, renewable resources from agricultural waste, or specially cultivated raw materials such as sugarcane. In the Bio4self project, Fraunhofer researchers fused two types of PLA to create so-called self-reinforced PLA composites. This combines the advantages of PLA and composite [&hellip;]"}
