Studies on Mechanical, Optical, Barrier Properties and Characterization of LDPE-PLA Blend Films with Micro ClayBy S Soundararajan, D K Thirumalazhagan, S K Nayak
Abstract: Low density poly ethylene (LDPE) and Poly lactic acid (PLA) in the ratio of 70:30 wt% were blended along with ethylene glycidyl meth acrylate (EGMA) as compatibilizer (2.5%), benzophenone as photodegradable additive (1%) and microclay (1,3,5%) as filler. Blending took place in a twin-screw extruder and then the resulting blend was processed into a film using blown film extrusion. Mechanical, optical, barrier and degradative properties of film were tested as …
