Abstract:The development of environmentally sustainable plastics has gained prominence due to their eco-friendliness and renewable nature. In this research, eco-friendly plastic was formulated by blending Polylactic Acid (PLA) and Polycaprolactone (PCL) with the incorporation of chitosan as a filler. The primary objective of this study is to scrutinize and delineate the influence of varying compositions of PLA/PCL/chitosan on the mechanical attributes of eco-friendly plastics. This was achieved through hot pressing met… Show more
