Polylactic acid composites incorporating casein functionalized cellulose nanowhiskers
BACKGROUND Polylactic acid (PLA) is considered to be a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based polymers for many applications. Using cellulose fiber to reinforce PLA is of great interest recently due to its complete biodegradability and potential improvement of the mechanical performance. However, the dispersion of hydrophilic cellulose fibers in the hydrophobic polymer matrix is usually poo...
متن کاملProperties of polylactic acid composites reinforced with oil palm biomass microcrystalline cellulose.
In this work, polylactic acid (PLA) composites filled with microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) from oil palm biomass were successfully prepared through solution casting. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy indicates that there are no significant changes in the peak positions, suggesting that incorporation of MCC in PLA did not result in any significant change in chemical structure of P...
متن کاملxylan on cellulose nanowhiskers matrix
Due to the ever-increasing global demand for materials, international dependence on conventional petroleum resources and environmental concerns, there is considerable interest in the development of alternative and sustainable products, manufactured by green technologies. In an effort to address these challenges, cellulose, the most globally abundant naturally occurring polymer has attracted sig...
متن کاملProcessing and Characterization of Cellulose Nanocrystals/Polylactic Acid Nanocomposite Films
The focus of this study is to examine the effect of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) on the properties of polylactic acid (PLA) films. The films are fabricated via melt compounding and melt fiber spinning followed by compression molding. Film fracture morphology, thermal properties, crystallization behavior, thermo-mechanical behavior, and mechanical behavior were determined as a function of CNC co...
متن کاملEffects of Biomass in Polyethylene or Polylactic Acid Composites
There is need for bioplastics to replace some of the total petroleum plastics used in the world, and help alleviate environmental pollution. Compounding bioplastics with Polyethylene (PE) or Polylactic acid (PLA) containing a dairy-based bioplastic resulted in composites with good mechanical properties. In this study, mass ratios of a dairy-protein-based material (DBP) ranging from 0, 5, 10 and...
