Double-Melting Behavior of Bamboo Fiber/Talc/Poly (Lactic Acid) Composites

Preparation and Characterization of Poly(lactic Acid)-based Composite Reinforced with Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch Fiber and Nanosilica

“…For PLA/OPEFB composite reinforced with inorganic silica, the tensile strength increased with increasing fiber loading. Similar observations had been reported by Shi et al (2010) for poly(lactic acid)/bamboo fiber/talc composites and Mustapa et al (2013) for poly(lactic acid)/hemp fiber reinforced with nanosilica.…”

Comparison of the thermal, dynamic mechanical and morphological properties of PLA-Lignin & PLA-Tannin particulate green composites

“…This behavior has been accounted for by a number of factors including melt recrystallization as shown by other authors [50]. The first and second melting peaks (T m1 and T m2 ) of pure PLA and all PLA-Lignin and PLA-Tannin compared to Pure PLA and almost completely disappear at 15 °C/min heating rate.…”

Non-isothermal crystallization behaviors of poly(lactic acid)/cellulose nanofiber composites in the presence of CO2

“…Different strategies have been employed to enhance the crystallization kinetics of PLA including chain branching [12][13][14][15], iso-/non-iso-thermal treatment under plasticizing gas environments at elevated pressures [8,12,16,17], polymer blending [18][19][20][21][22], incorporation of inorganic/organic fillers or nucleating agents [8,21,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30], and strain-induced crystallization [31][32][33]. Among these, adding inorganic/organic fillers or nucleating agents has been considered one of the most common and effective approaches.…”
