In the past two decades, synthetic biodegradable and biobased polyesters have emerged as
a sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-derived polymers for diverse range of …

The main motivation for development of biobased polymers was their biodegradability,
which is becoming important due to strong public concern about waste. Reflecting recent …

The objective of this study was to compare the physical and mechanical performance of poly
(lactic acid)(PLA), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and nylon 6 fabricated using fused …

Poly (lactic acid) is a biobased and compostable thermoplastic polyester that has rapidly
evolved into a competitive commodity material over the last decade. One key bottleneck in …

Polylactic acid (PLA) is one of the most popular thermoplastics for fused deposition
modeling (FDM). Attributed to its semi-crystalline nature, the relation between printing …

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 …

The aim of this paper is to report the impact of the addition of cellulose nanocrystals on the
barrier properties and on the migration behaviour of poly (lactic acid), PLA, based nano …

Polylactide (PLA) is known as one of the most promising biopolymers as it is derived from
renewable feedstock and can be biodegraded. During the last two decades, it moved more …

Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) is the most used biopolymer for food packaging applications. Several
strategies have been made to improve PLA properties for extending its applications in the …

Aliphatic polyesters, which can be obtained from bacterial or chemical synthesis, are
emerging as an important class of biodegradable and biocompatible polymers for …
