The effect of tetra-needle-like zinc oxide whisker as additive on the crystallization kinetics of polybutylene adipate terephthalate/polylactic acid blend

Herein, we investigate the effect of the addition of tetra-needle-like zinc oxide whisker (T-ZnOw), a novel reinforcing additive, on the melt crystallization behavior of biodegradable polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT)/polylactic acid (PLA ...

Near-Surface Reconfiguration of Biopolymer Blends by Mechanical Embossment: Creation of Friction-Reduced Foils

Macromol
Biopolymer blends of polylactic acid (PLA) and polybutylene adipate-co-terephthalate (PBAT) are extruded into flexible monolayer films. These blends are excellent candidates for the realization of environmentally friendly packaging applications.

Impact of different microplastics polymers and albendazole and pyraclostrobin mix on arugula (Eruca vesicaria) physiology and growth

Next Sustainability
The combined effects of microplastics (MPs) and agrochemicals in soil pose an uncertain, growing threat to crop health and food safety. This study investigated the phytotoxicity of conventional low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and biodegradable ...

Mechanical and Morphological Analysis of 3D-Printed Polylactic Acid-Polybutylene Adipate Terephthalate Composite

Journal of Research Updates in Polymer Science
In this research paper, a detailed examination of the mechanical properties and morphologies of PLA and PBAT polymer blend materials which were produced through 3D printing techniques was conducted. The examination was completed using a PLA/PBAT/Joncryl blended material with a composition ratio of 77/20/3 wt% and manufactured through FDM techniques and

In-field degradation of polybutylene adipate-co-terephthalate (PBAT) films, microplastic formation, and impacts on soil health

Environmental Research
Polybutylene adipate-co-terephthalate (PBAT) mulch films are potential alternatives to traditional polyethylene (PE) mulch films in agriculture. Here, we investigated the degradation rate and microplastic formation of PBAT films in an agricultural field and the impacts on soil health as well as maize yields.
