PBAT is a compostable biopolyester, potentially obtainable from renewable resources, of
great commercial interest. Thanks to its lower price, ease in processability and especially …

This review examines cradle-to-grave life cycle assessments (LCAs) and biodegradation
studies of common bioplastics. Fueled by a growing single-use consumer base, the rate at …

Abstract Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) with branched structure has abundant terminal groups, high
melt strength, good rheological properties, and excellent processability; it is a new research …

Abstract Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) is a bio-based, bio-compostable and bio-compatible
aliphatic polyester which derives from lactic acid. The interest for this bioplastic has …

Abstract Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) has high potential to replace conventional petroleum-based
plastics in a wide range of applications. However, the high brittles, thermal degradation, low …

In a world going through a plastic waste management catastrophe with serious
environmental, health, social and economic consequences, the ideal step forward would be …

This study investigated the effect of the Joncryl concentration on the properties of
polylactide/poly (ε-caprolactone)(PLA/PCL) and PLA/poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG) blends …

Circular economy will change our way to design plastic products in order to provide greater
durability, reuse and high-quality recycling. In addition to improve design to make plastic …

Bioplastics, or plastics made from renewable sources, are often touted as a solution to the
problems of plastic pollution and resource depletion, but this is not always the case. Growing …

Abstract Nowadays, poly (lactic acid)(PLA) is one of the most used biobased polymers with
significant growth in the global market. Even though one of the main characteristics of PLA is …
