In this study, metakaolin was partially replaced with mineral micropowder to prepare a
mineral-micropowder/metakaolin-based geopolymer was prepared under alkali activation …

In this work, the scCO 2-assisted impregnation of polylactic acid films with R-(−)-carvone
was investigated, as a route to develop an active packaging material. The effect of three …

Composite materials based on PLA have been studied in depth for many applications,
including food packaging. This manuscript describes extensive research conducted on a …

The main objective in this study is to elucidate the geopolymerization of Class C fly ash at
different solid-to-liquid ratio (1.0-3.0) by using heat evolution analysis. Differential Scanning …

Abstract Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) incorporated with poly (butylene succinate)(PBS) through in
situ reactive blending is proposed to retard thermal shrinkage. Succinic anhydride (SA) with …

Electrospinning of a biodegradable polymer blend of poly (lactic acid)(PLA) and poly
(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate)(PBAT) is reported for the first time. Effects of several …

Metakaolin (MK) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) based geopolymers
have been utilised as materials for concrete road repair. However, their early-stage …

Ramie fibers reinforced poly (lactic acid)(PLA) biocomposites in the recent past have gained
a lot of research attention for various applications due to their biodegradability, lightweight …

A one-step reactive extrusion process has been demonstrated to toughen the poly (lactic
acid)(PLA) blend without sacrificing its mechanical strength and degradability. Specifically …

The use of lignocellulose-rich biowaste as reinforcing filler in biodegradable polymers
represents a sustainable option to obtain cost-effective bio-based materials to be used for …
