In this research, we physically foamed semicrystalline polylactic acid filled with montmorillonite, carbon nanotubes, and halloysite nanoparticles. the case of polymer foams, their density compressive strength are important parameters. Although specific calculated as ratio two is a good indicator use polymeric few researchers for classification. We have shown that presence nanoparticles has pos...

Ferroelectrets have promoted a variety of exciting flexible sensors, actuators, and microenergy harvesters. However, most ferroelectrets been fabricated from non-degradable petro-based resins, thus the recycling these materials constitutes big challenge. This article reports biodegradable bioabsorbable ferroelectret films made polylactic acid (PLA) resins for highly sensitive transducer applica...

Abstract In this work, the fabricated polylactic acid (PLA) and hybrid natural fiber (NF) biocomposites via a melt extrusion method were investigated. NFs from locally grown plants utilized as fillers. Polyethene glycol (PEG) was used plasticizer to improve processability of PLA. The effect PLA/NF biocomposite processing assessed by mechanical characterization (tensile, modulus, strain at break...

Abstract Global pollution by plastics derived from petroleum has fostered the development of carbon–neutral, biodegradable bioplastics synthesized renewable resources such as modern biomass, yet knowledge on impact ecosystems is limited. Here we review polylactic acid plastic with focus synthesis, biodegradability tuning, environmental conversion to microplastics, and microbes, algae, phytoplan...
