The present study describes the fabrication and characterization of eco-friendly composites based on high density polyethylene (HDPE), poly (lactic acid) (PLA) with microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) fibres via melt extrusion followed by injection moulding. The morphology of PLA in both HDPE/PLA blends and HDPE/MCC fibres composites was irregular and immiscible. The tensile strength at max load and % elongation at break of all polyblend composites were reduced to similar to 17%, similar to 15%, and similar to 84%, similar to 89% than pure HDPE matrix, respectively. The toughness of HDPE and its polyblend composites were decreased to similar to 92% and similar to 91%, respectively. As higher number indicates greater resistance, the hardness of HDPE was improved by similar to 7% and similar to 10% after adding PLA followed by MCC fibres. As revealed from DSC analysis, the crystallinity of composites was considerably influenced by the MCC fibres content due to the transcrystallization effect. The crystallinity of HDPE/PLA with MCC fibres polyblend composites was decreased by similar to 41% as compared to the HDPE matrix because of disorientation of fibres as seen in X-ray diffraction analysis. Eventually, the results revealed that the presence or absence of MCC fibre loading had significant effects on the mechanical, morphological, and thermal properties of HDPE/PLA blends.
