A significant increase of specific properties, both stiffness and strength, was achieved by adding 5-10 wt% wood fibres. The experimental stiffness was comparable with a superposed micromechanical model for a three phase fibre reinforced foam. These first results on the integration of wood fibres into cellular PLA polymer are very encouraging.polylactic acid (PLA)wood fibresfoams$supercritical processingcellular compositestext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
