Journal ArticleDOI
Polylactide (PLA) designed with desired end‐use properties: 1. PLA compositions with low molecular weight ester‐like plasticizers and related performances
TL;DR: In this paper, a specific PLA grade (L/D isomer ratio of 96:4, high molecular weight) was melt-mixed with selected plasticizers: bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DOA), glyceryl triacetate (GTA), and tributyl O-acetylcitrate (TBAC).
Journal ArticleDOI
Polylactide (pla)–caso4 composites toughened with low molecular weight and polymeric ester-like plasticizers and related performances
Marius Murariu,Amália Da Silva Ferreira,Miroslaw Pluta,Leila Bonnaud,Michaël Alexandre,Philippe Dubois +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new approach in formulating novel melt-processable polyester grades with improved characteristic features using PLA as biodegradable polymer matrix, which are clearly characterized by easier processing, notable thermo-mechanical performances and good filler dispersion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polylactide compositions. Part 1: Effect of filler content and size on mechanical properties of PLA/calcium sulfate composites
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of filler content and mean diameter on thermal, mechanical and impact properties has been examined together with the morphology of the resulting materials, and it has been shown that high tensile performances and impact strength are maintained up to a filler content of 20 wt% without any increase of PLA crystallinity.
Journal ArticleDOI
(Plasticized) Polylactide/clay nanocomposite textile: thermal, mechanical, shrinkage and fire properties
Samuel Solarski,Fatma Mahjoubi,Manuela Ferreira,Eric Devaux,Pierre Bachelet,Serge Bourbigot,René Delobel,Philippe Coszach,Marius Murariu,Amália Da Silva Ferreira,Michaël Alexandre,Philippe Degée,Philippe Dubois +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, various quantities of Cloisite 30B (from 1% to 4% in weight) have been added to a polylactide matrix by melt blending to produce poly lactide-based nanocomposites and these blends have been melt-spun to produce multifilaments yarns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Designing polylactide/clay nanocomposites for textile applications: Effect of processing conditions, spinning, and characterization
Samuel Solarski,Manuela Ferreira,Eric Devaux,Gaelle Fontaine,Pierre Bachelet,Serge Bourbigot,René Delobel,Philippe Coszach,Marius Murariu,Amália Da Silva Ferreira,Michaël Alexandre,Philippe Degée,Philippe Dubois +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of processing conditions (temperature, shear, residence time) on the morphology of performed polymer nanocomposites (PNC) was investigated.
