Owing to its excellent mechanical properties, processability, and biodegradability, poly
(lactic acid)(PLA) has been widely investigated in the past few decades as a biomaterial …

The widely used plastic products which became a part of our everyday life are produced
almost entirely from crude oil. There are various estimates on oil resources, but there is an …

Abstract Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) with branched structure has abundant terminal groups, high
melt strength, good rheological properties, and excellent processability; it is a new research …

Plasticized poly (lactic acid)(PPLA) was prepared by melt blending poly (lactic acid)(PLA)
with 10 wt% of poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG), with varied molecular weights range from 400 to …

This study was conducted as a first step in order to obtain green materials for food
packaging by using an eco‐friendly bioplastic, polylactic acid (PLA), and nontoxic …

Polylactide (PLA), a commercially available thermoplastic derived from plant sugars, finds
applications in consumer products, disposable packaging, and textiles, among others. The …

Melt blending of poly (butylene succinate)(PBS) with poly (lactic acid)(PLA) to fine tune the
mechanical properties of PLA needs to be aware of immiscibility. The present work …

Biodegradable polymeric blends based on poly (3-hydroxybutyrate)(PHB) and polylactic
acid (PLA) were prepared by melt mixing. Trybutyrin, a bio-based plasticizer, was added at a …

Lightweight sandwich structures already have many applications in the aerospace,
automotive, and construction sectors due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, enhanced …

In this work, PLLA and CD/PLLA nanofibers were fabricated using electrospinning and
utilized as a particulate matter (PM) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) filter. The …
