The creep rupture properties of a water-absorbed green composite were examined and assessed for long-term safety. Plain woven jute fiber cloth was used as a reinforcement and a poly-lactic acid (PLA) resin sheet was used as a matrix. A water-absorption test of this green composite was conducted at r...
