Effects of Biomass in Polyethylene or Polylactic Acid Composites
There is need for bioplastics to replace some of the total petroleum plastics used in the world, and help alleviate environmental pollution. Compounding bioplastics with Polyethylene (PE) or Polylactic acid (PLA) containing a dairy-based bioplastic resulted in composites with good mechanical properties. In this study, mass ratios of a dairy-protein-based material (DBP) ranging from 0, 5, 10 and...
متن کاملPolylactic acid composites incorporating casein functionalized cellulose nanowhiskers
BACKGROUND Polylactic acid (PLA) is considered to be a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based polymers for many applications. Using cellulose fiber to reinforce PLA is of great interest recently due to its complete biodegradability and potential improvement of the mechanical performance. However, the dispersion of hydrophilic cellulose fibers in the hydrophobic polymer matrix is usually poo...
متن کاملEffect of Bamboo Flour Grafted Lactide on the Interfacial Compatibility of Polylactic Acid/Bamboo Flour Composites
Bamboo flour (BF) was grafted onto lactide (LA) in the molten state using stannous octoate as a catalyst to form BF-g-LA. Then, polylactic acid (PLA) was blended with BF (PLA/BF, 85/15 wt %) to prepare PLA/BF/BF-g-LA composites using BF-g-LA as a compatibilizer. The grafting rate of BF was characterized using infrared testing and elemental analysis. To investigate the effect of BF-g-LA on the p...
متن کاملNew Polylactic Acid Composites Reinforced with Artichoke Fibers
In this work, artichoke fibers were used for the first time to prepare poly(lactic acid) (PLA)-based biocomposites. In particular, two PLA/artichoke composites with the same fiber loading (10% w/w) were prepared by the film-stacking method: the first one (UNID) reinforced with unidirectional long artichoke fibers, the second one (RANDOM) reinforced by randomly-oriented long artichoke fibers. Bo...
متن کاملPolylactic acid (PLA)
This website provides an excellent overview of PLA as a polymer, its properties, and manufacture. This web article describes the production of lactic acid from biomass by microbial fermentation coupled to a poly-merization process to make PLA. The article is a bit dated and its industrial projections are now seen to be a bit over-optimistic. NatureWorks is the company that started large-scale p...
