| description | Biopolymers are renewable resource�derived polymers that attract interest as
environmentally sustainable resins, since they are
manufactured without relying on fossil fuel energy.
The application of polylactic acid (PLA) and other
biopolymers in the automotive sector (especially
indoors) needs the products to meet the quality
requirements such as high strength, low level of
sunlight disruption, abrasion resistance, high
longevity and high fire resistance. Owing to the
fact that injection molding produces products with
high dimensional tolerances at short cycle times
and results in lower costs, hence the production
techniques of polymer is crucial. In recent years
biofibre-reinforced PLA composites have been of
considerable concern. By combining a
biodegradable matrix with biofibre reinforcement a
biocomposite, a completely biodegradable
material, is literally feasible. We may also look
forward to ambitious R&D in the production of
materials that are bio-degradable over those
manufactured from polyester as its reprocessing
which prove costlier than the disposal and
composting of items such as seats manufactured
from PLA fabrics. |
