Sustainable functional polymer nanocomposites from renewable resources are extremely
promising materials that can provide the next-generation of lightweight, multifunctional …

The current investigation addresses the thermal degradation and non-isothermal
crystallization behaviour of the fabricated poly (lactic acid) foam (nPLA) and poly (lactic …

Polymer crystallization affects material microstructure and the final product quality, and the
crystallization kinetics that govern this process are critical. In this study, alkali-treated Ginkgo …

Applications of graphene in regenerative medicine have attracted the increasing attention of
numerous research groups due to the specific properties that confers on biomaterials. In this …

A new type of light-weight material produced by 3D printing consisting of nano-carbon
doped polymer layer followed by a dielectric polymer layer is proposed. We performed …

In this paper, amorphous silica Syloid 244 and kraft lignin were mechanically coupled. Four
hybrid materials containing silica and lignin in ratios 1: 1, 2: 1, 5: 1 and 20: 1 were prepared …

Systematic kinetics of melt-blended Poly (lactic acid)(PLA)/Poly (butylene succinate)(PBS)
and PLA/PBS/functionalized chitosan (FCH) nanobiocomposites with dicumyl peroxide …

Crystallization of polylactic acid (PLA) has a profound effect on its thermal stability and
mechanical properties. However, almost no crystallization occurs in actual injection molding …

In this study, polyethylene glycol (PEG) was introduced into PLA/BP/UFBC ternary
biocomposites as a plasticizer to improve the toughness of the biocomposites. Mechanical …

In this paper, silica–lignin hybrid materials were used as fillers for a polylactide (PLA) matrix.
In order to simulate biodegradation, PLA/hybrid filler composite films were kept in soil of …
