LDPE:PLA and LDPE:PLA:OMMT polymer composites: Preparation, characterization, and its biodegradation using Bacillus species isolated from dumping yard

Abstract: The focus of the present research is on the biodegradation of low density polyethylene (LDPE):polylactic acid (PLA) and LDPE:PLA:organo modified montmorillonite (OMMT) polymer nanocomposites. PLA was synthesized using the polycondensation method. The surface modification of nanomaterials is affected by various factors such as modifying agent, dispersion medium, and the dispersion of nanoparticles. Ultrasound cavitation technique improves the better dispersion of MMT in reaction mixture and enhances the interac… Show more

“…Nanoclay in biodegradable blends has been shown to be a contributing factor in improving thermal stability 12,25 and mechanical properties. [28][29][30] Researchers have widely investigated the effect of nanoclay on the biodegradability of the PLA polymer matrix. 31,32 Thellen et al reported increased biodegradation due to the adsorption of hydroxyl groups of nanosilicates.…”
