The main goal of this thesis was to develop biodegradable composite material of sustainable origin for possible usage in automotive industry. Increased demand for usage of sustainable and biodegradable natural materials initiated wider production of biocomposites. For that reason, composite materials made of sustainable polylactide (PLA) polymer and Spartium junceum L. (SJL) bast fibres were designed and produced in the course of research for this thesis. Three fibre extraction (maceration) methods were investigated: water retting (WR), osmotic degumming (OD) and alkali retting under the influence of microwave energy (MW). It was proven that long lasting conventional maceration method can be succesfully replaced by ecologically favou...
