AB  - In this study, continuous reinforcement materials of hemp fibres and matrix polymers (staple polylactic acid (PLA), staple
bicomponent PLA) were carded in a conventional carding machine. Various proportions of the hemp fibre reinforcement
material, ranging from 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60% were used in the production of biocomposite structures. We have
further studied the effect of several carding passages (up to 3 passages) on the strength performance of both the staple
PLA and the staple bicomponent PLA matrix. To obtain composite samples, the carded webs were further consolidated
in the hot press machine. Further mechanical performance analysis was carried out in both the cross direction as well
as parallel to the machine direction. It was observed that the introduction of reinforcing hemp fibre shows an increase
in tensile strength up to the critical fibre loading amount and a decrease in tensile strength after the critical fibre loading
amount. The highest tensile strength of 35.84 MPa was obtained for (40HEMP / 60PLA / M / P3), applied to the
composite structures in the machine production direction, while the lowest value was 14.70 MPa (60HEMP / 40BPLA /
M / P1), respectively.
