Journal ArticleDOI
Study of Biodegradable Polylactide/Poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) Blends
TL;DR: In this study, PLA and PBAT were melt blended using a twin screw extruder and showed decreased tensile strength and modulus; however, elongation and toughness were dramatically increased.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, a new method of applying Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) for extracting lignin from woody biomass with high yield and high purity was reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of polylactide/nano-sized calcium carbonate and polylactide/montmorillonite composites: Reinforcing effects and toughening mechanisms
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the nano-sized precipitated calcium carbonate (NPCC) and organically modified montmorillonite (MMT) clay with PLA nanocomposites by melt extrusion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wood plastic composites weathering: Visual appearance and chemical changes
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of outside and accelerated weathering on the visual appearance and chemical changes of wood plastic composite (WPC) formulations based on high density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP) were investigated.
