Eco Friendly Composites Prepared from Lactic Acid Based Resin and Natural Fiber

Acknowledgments We would like to express our gratitude to our examiner Professor Mikael Skrifvars for the opportunity to be port of this interesting research project and all his supports, we would also like to express our special appreciation and thanks to our supervisor Dr. Dan Åkesson for all his guidance, useful comments, remarks and engagement through the learning process of this master thesis. We would like to thank our loved ones, who have supported us throughout entire process, both by keeping us harmonious and helping us putting pieces together. We will be grateful forever for your love. IV Lactic acid based thermoset were synthesised by reacting lactic acid with glycerol and functionalizing lactic acid branches by methacrylic anhydride. Resins with different chain length were prepared and their thermo mechanical properties were examined through DMA analysis and their molecular structures were analyzed by NMR method and their viscosit
