Bio-based polymers are a class of polymers made by living organisms, a few of them known
and commercialized yet. Due to poor mechanical strength and economic constraints, they …

Abstract Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) has attracted much attention as a substitute for petroleum-
based plastics, but its low heat resistance limits its application range in packaging fields and …

The structural, thermal, and mechanical properties of unreinforced and reinforced polylactic
acid (PLA) were investigated. The PLA was a biopolymer that was reinforced with four fillers …

The development of new polymer compositions characterized by a reduced environmental
impact while lowering the price for applications in large-scale production requires the search …

The popular applications of Additive Manufactured (AM) polymer materials in engineering,
medical, and industrial fields have been widely recognized due to their high-speed …

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biobased, biodegradable, non-toxic polymer widely considered for
replacing traditional petroleum-based polymer materials. Being a semi-crystalline material …

The study describes the hybridization of epoxy/flax-cotton (EP/FF) composites containing
ammonium polyphosphate (APP) with micrometric expanded vermiculite (VMT)(1–10 wt%) …

Vermiculite (VMT) was used as a filler and it was modified with silane coupling agent KH570
to produce OVMT. VMT/PBAT and OVMT/PBAT composite films were prepared using the …

Agri-food waste is an exciting way to use as a polymer filler. It is an ecological option for
cutting down the material cost, especially relatively expensive biodegradable plastics. In this …

Sustainable polymer composites (or biocomposites) based on renewable and green
polymers are progressively under development in a technological paradigm shift from “just …
