## Abstract **Summary:** The use of hyperbranched polymers (HBP) with hydroxy functionality as modifiers for poly(L‐lactic acid) (PLLA)‐flax fiber composites is presented. HBP concentrations were varied from 0 to 50% v/v and the static and dynamic tensile properties were investigated along with int
