Overview

This study evaluates mechanical properties and aging behavior of PLA biocomposites, suggesting potential for sustainable applications in packaging.

Key Points

  • PLA15S reinforced with seashells showed a tensile strength increase of 72% compared to neat PLA.
  • After 28 days of hydrothermal aging, PLA15C retained about 36% of its initial tensile strength, outperforming others.
  • Walnut-shell-filled composites lost over 98% of mechanical strength after aging, indicating severe degradation.
  • The study highlights the importance of biofiller physicochemical nature in enhancing mechanical performance and durability.
