| description | Petroleum based packaging materials creates a waste disposal
problem due to the nature of their degradation (them being nonbiodegradable).
Polylactic acid (PLA) is a thermoplastic polymer
derived from renewable resources with suitable biodegradation rate
and properties comparable to conventional plastics. This study aims
to improve the general properties of PLA and to reduce the cost of
PLA-based products by producing blends, filler-reinforced
composites and polyurethane. |
