Abstract Poly (lactic acid)(PLA), a bio-based polyester, has been extensively investigated in
the recent past owing to its excellent mechanical properties. Several studies have been …

Petro-derived commodity thermoplastics are relatively inexpensive, lightweight, and non-
biodegradable materials, which can be readily molded at high temperatures into a range of …

Recently, bioplastic have generated an increasing interest as an alternative to conventional
plastics. For this reason, their manufacture using the traditional techniques used for the …

There are many limitations within three-dimensional (3D) printing that hinder its adaptation
into industries such as biomedical, cosmetic, processing, automotive, aerospace, and …

Abstract Bio-based polyamide11 (PA11) was incorporated to enhance and toughen poly
(lactic acid)(PLA). Fully bio-based PLA/PA11 blends of high strength and toughness were …

ABSTRACT Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) was first melt blended with five weight percentages (10–
50 wt%) of poly (butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate)(PBAT) on a twin‐screw extruder and …

As an advanced manufacturing technology that has been developed in recent years, three-
dimensional (3D) printing of macromolecular materials can create complex-shaped …

Starch can be found in the stems, roots, fruits, and seeds of plants such as sweet potato,
cassava, corn, potato, and many more. In addition to its original form, starch can be modified …

Polylactic Acid (PLA) is a biodegradable polymer gaining popularity as a replacement for
conventional plastics in different industrial sectors. However, PLA has inherent limitations …

This study investigated the impact of a multiple epoxy chain extender (ADR) on the
rheological behavior, crystallization, and mechanical properties of polyglycolic acid (PGA) …
