Abstract
Hemp is one of the annual crops whose use has increased in recent years through different applications. This work compares the properties of PLA-based biocomposites, where different hemp structures resulting from a side stream from hemp production were used, such as hemp fibre, hemp pulp, shives and hemp dust. We have also produced hemp-based nanofibrils and compared their effect on the viscosity with the aim of finding novel applications for hemp. A wood-based cellulose was used as reference materials in both the biocomposite and nanofibril studies.
