Crystallization of triethyl-citrate-plasticized poly(lactic acid) induced by chitin nanocrystals
(Wiley, 2019-01-01)
Article
Open AccessThe aim of this study was to gain a better understanding of the crystallization behavior of triethyl-citrate-plasticized poly(lactic acid) (PLA–TEC) in the presence of chitin nanocrystals (ChNCs). The isothermal crystallization ... -
Effect of chitin nanocrystals on crystallization and properties of poly(lactic acid)-based nanocomposites
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2020-03-01)
Article
Open AccessThe crystalline phase of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) has crucial effects on its own properties and nanocomposites. In this study, the isothermal crystallization of PLA, triethyl citrate-plasticized PLA (PLA–TEC), and its ... -
Orientation of polylactic acid–chitin nanocomposite films via combined calendering and uniaxial drawing: Effect on structure, mechanical, and thermal properties
(2021-12-06)
Article
Open AccessThe orientation of polymer composites is one way to increase the mechanical properties of the material in a desired direction. In this study, the aim was to orient chitin nanocrystal (ChNC)-reinforced poly(lactic acid) ... -
Properties of poly(lactic acid) in presence of cellulose and chitin nanocrystals
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-10-09)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessPlastic based materials are widely used for packaging applications. However, disposal of such petroleum-based materials e.g. polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) has become a huge threat to the environment due to its ...
