Among biopolymers, polylactide (PLA) is considered as the most appropriate substitute for
the petroleum-based polymers which are widely used in various commodity and …

Society's wish list for future packaging systems is placing some daunting challenges upon
researchers: In addition to protecting contents during storage and shipping, the material …

Currently, the quest for more renewable and biodegradable materials is a scientific priority to
address the problems of petroleum-based plastics are difficult to degrade. In this work …

Branching poly (butylene succinate)(BPBS) nanocomposite foams incorporated with
cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were prepared by supercritical CO 2. Surface modification of …

In this study, WF (wood fiber)/PLA (polylactic acid) composites were pyrolyzed to study the
synergistic effects during co-pyrolysis of WF-PLA blends. The co-pyrolysis kinetics …

Abstract Poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)(PHBV) is a type of promising bio-
based thermoplastic for food packaging but find restricted industrial applications due to its …

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have been blended into polylactic acid (PLA) to improve the
polymer's properties. The dispersion of CNC in the matrix has a strong influence on the …

In this study, branched PLLA was obtained by mixing linear PLLA with chain extender. And
adding different contents of self-assembled nucleating agent to further modify its …

Abstract Carbon black (CB), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT), and graphene oxide
(GO)-reinforced poly (lactic acid)(PLA) foams were prepared. Morphological studies …

Polylactide/cellulose nanocomposites were fabricated by blending of commercial polylactide
(PLA) and modified cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). Modified CNCs were prepared via the in …
