Flexible and biodegradable film for environmental friendly packaging material

Flexible and biodegradable film for environmental friendly packaging material

Petroleum based packaging materials has been a problem due to its non-degradation nature. Polylactic acid is a polymer from renewable resources and has properties comparable to conventional plastics. Our research aims are to improve the general properties of PLA and reduce the cost of PLA by blendi...
