Studies on Mechanical, Thermal, Physical Properties and Characterisation of PLA-EVA Blend with Microclay and Product Development
Abstract: PLA-EVA (70:30 wt. %) with microclay (1, 3, 5 wt. %) was also melt blended using Glycerol (1%) was used as compatibilizer in a twin screw compounding extruder. Then test specimens were prepared by an injection molding machine. Mechanical, thermal and physical properties were evaluated. As microclay content was increased, the tensile strength, elongation at break and tensile modulus were slightly decreased but higher than that of PLA-EVA (30 wt. …

Synthesis of Biodiesel fuel additive from Glycerol using Cationic ion exchange resin- A review
Abstract: With the alarming increasing of oil consumption and the number of automotives being instilled, there has been immense research taking place to find a sustainable fuel to replace the current fossil fuels and also not render the current automotives obsolete. The current favorable solution to this is Biodiesel which can be generated either from oil seeds or waste vegetable oils. The selectivity of this process is 90% and the byproduct …

Effect of Softening Agents in the Thermal and Morphological Properties of Starch Based Bioplastics
Abstract: Plasticization of starch with 1,2,3-trihydroxy-propane (glycerol) as a softening agent (plasticiser) can replace the starch-starch bonds to starch-massive glycerol bonds, which offers stability, improved physicochemical and functional properties of starch. This study is an investigation on the thermal and morphological properties of bio plastic samples made of starch with varying plasticiser contents (8, 6.5, 5, 3.5 and 2 ml) and are evaluated by methods like thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning …
