Effect of layered silicates on the thermal stability of PCL/PLA microfibrillar composites
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
This paper reports on an investigation of the influence of the presence of two different clays, Cloisite 15A
and Cloisite 30B, and fibre drawing on the degradation behaviour and kinetics of PCL/PLA composites. It
was ...
Morphology and thermal degradation studies of melt-mixed poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) biodegradable polymer blend nanocomposites with TiO2 as filler
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
The morphology and thermal stability of melt-mixed poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) blend nanocomposites with small amounts of TiO2 nanoparticles were investigated. The nanoparticles were mostly located ...
Effect of halloysite nano tubes on the thermal degradation behaviour of PCL/PLA microfibrillar composites
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
This paper reports on the thermal degradation behaviour and kinetics of halloysite nanotubes containing microfibrillated poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/poly(lactic acid) (PLA) blends. It was found that the nanotubes probably ...
Dynamic mechanical properties of PLA/PHBV, PLA/PCL, PHBV/PCL blends and their nanocomposites with TiO2 as nanofiller
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
The effect of blending and the addition of small amounts of TiO2 nanoparticles on the dynamic mechanical properties of PLA/PHBV, PLA/PCL and PHBV/PCL blends is reported in this paper. The storage modulus of the PLA/PHBV ...
Effects of rutile-TiO2 nanoparticles on accelerated weathering degradation of poly(Lactic Acid)
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
The effect of accelerated weathering on poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and a PLA nanocomposite with rutile titanium (IV) dioxide (rutile-TiO2) was investigated. The accelerated weathering test applied consecutive steps of ultraviolet ...
Preparation and characterization of EVA/PLA/sugarcane bagasse composites for water purification
(
SAGE Publications
, 2017 , Article)
Poly(lactic acid)/ethylene vinyl acetate blends and poly(lactic acid)/ethylene vinyl acetate/sugarcane bagasse composites were prepared by melt mixing. The lower viscosity of poly(lactic acid), the lower interfacial tension ...
Influence of TiO2 nanoparticles on the crystallization behaviour and tensile properties of PLA/TiO2, PCL/TiO2 and PLA/PCL/TiO2 nanocomposites.
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Article)
This paper investigated the influence of TiO2 nanoparticles on the morphologies, as well as crystallization behaviour and kinetics, of neat PLA and PCL, and of these polymers in different PLA/PCL blends. We used transmission ...
