This work evaluated the synergistic effect of citronella essential oil (Ct) and montmorillonite (MMT) (called hybrid compound) incorporated in Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) films at different concentrations (3, 10, 15, 20 wt%). PLA were characterized using X-ray diffraction, SEM, TGA, DSC considering their mechanical properties migration. XRD analysis showed effective interaction between MMT oil. The...

The mechanical properties of nanocomposites based on poly lactic acid/polyolefin elastomer (PLA/POE) were investigated. compounds made using an internal mixer. POE in two levels at 10–20 wt.% and nano fillers, including multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) graphene nano-platelets (GnPs) 1, 2, 3 levels, added to the PLA. Impact tensile tests conducted extract impact properties, respectively. di...

Abstract Biodegradable materials based on poly (lactic acid) (PLA) and a phenolic free modified rosin resin were obtained studied to control the biodegradability under composting conditions of materials. The was blended in concentrations 1, 3, 5, 10, 15 parts per hundred (phr) base polymer using industrial plastic processing techniques. Additionally, study effect compatibility PLA, physical per...

An N-heterocyclic phosphine (NHP) has been investigated as a catalyst for transesterification of range commercial polymer samples. NHP catalysed degradation poly(lactic acid) with methanol provides access to methyl lactate (MeLA) in high yields over the course days. In situ NMR spectroscopy and kinetic analysis provided quantitative assessment catalyst, solvent screen is reported. Surprisingly ...

Abstract The aim of this present work was to study the applicability waste marble dust (MD) in poly(lactic acid) (PLA)-based composites. Samples containing up 20 wt% MD were prepared via melt blending. attention focused on investigation mechanical, morphological, thermal properties and wear resistance PLA/MD Regarding mechanical properties, both tensile flexural modulus improved remarkably, how...

Poly(lactic acid)(PLA) is an aliphatic polyester that can be derived from natural and renewable resources. Owing to favorable features, such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, good thermal mechanical performance, processability, PLA has been considered one of the most promising biopolymers for biomedical applications. Particularly, electrospun nanofibers with distinguishing characteristics,...

The proliferation of disposable, wearable, and implantable printable electronics requires the development high-performance biodegradable, sustainable electronic components. Often green materials don't have necessary properties for electronics, therefore obtaining ideal a combination multiple materials. A tri-layer dielectric is reported using poly(lactic acid) (PLA), poly(vinyl alcohol)/cellulo...

Poly lactic acid or poly lactide (PLA) is a natural polymer that biodegradable, thermoplastic and an aliphatic polyester made from renewable materials such as young kepok banana starch. with the chemical formula CH3CH(OH)COOH biodegradable obtained combination of monomers. Therefore, in this study PLA matrix was added fillers form Coir Chitosan. coconut fiber has been widely used by researchers...

Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) and poly (butylene succinate) (PBS) based films containing two different plasticizers [Acetyl Tributyl Citrate (ATBC) and isosorbide diester (ISE)] at three different contents (15 wt %, 20 wt % and 30 wt %) were produced by extrusion method. Thermal, morphological, mechanical and wettability behavior of produced materials was investigated as a function of plasticizer co...
