Performance of Cow Dung Reinforced Biodegradable Poly(Lactic Acid) Biocomposites for Structural Applications

Biodegradable Polylactic Acid (PLA) Microstructures for Scaffold Applications

In this research, we present a simple and cost effective soft lithographic process to fabricate PLA scaffolds for tissue engineering. In which, the negative photoresist JSR THB-120N was spun on a glass subtract followed by conventional UV lithographic processes to fabricate the master to cast the PDMS elastomeric mold. A thin poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) layer was used as a mode release such that ...

Bamboo–Polylactic Acid (PLA) Composite Material for Structural Applications

Developing an eco-friendly industry based on green materials, sustainable technologies, and optimum processes with low environmental impact is a general societal goal, but this remains a considerable challenge to achieve. Despite the large number of research on green structural composites, limited investigation into the most appropriate manufacturing methodology to develop a structural material...

Production and Evaluation of Biodegradable Composites Based on Polyhydroxybutyrate and Polylactic Acid Reinforced with Short and Long Pulp Fibers

In this study, two biodegradable polymers, polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), were mixed with short and long fiber pulps using a torque rheometer. PLA/PHB-fiber composites consisting of up to 40 wt% paper pulp were produced through a unique procedure and evaluated using various techniques including thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray dif...
