Effect of expandable graphite on thermal and flammability properties of poly(lactic acid)-starch/poly(ɛ-caprolactone) blend systems
Mngomezulu, Mfiso E.; Luyt, Adriaan S.; Chapple, Steve A.; John, Maya J. ( John Wiley and Sons Inc. , 2018 , Article)The effect of expandable graphite (EG) on the flammability and thermal stability of a poly(lactic acid) (PLA)-starch/poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) blend was investigated. The samples were prepared by melt-mixing and characterized ... -
