  Investigation on mechanical performance of 3D printed PLA-Kraft Lignin composites

  By Patlola Chandra Sekhar, T. Malyadri, B. Satyanarayana

  Abstract: Bio-based polymer composites are becoming more popular due to the growing need for sustainable and biodegradable materials in additive manufacturing. PLA-kraft lignin composites were created and their mechanical performance in fused deposition modeling (FDM) applications was assessed in this work. Polylactic acid (PLA) was mixed with Kraft lignin, a sustainable by-product of the paper industry, at weight percentages of 0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7%. Melt blending was utilized to …
