Studies on poly lactic acid based microcellular biocomposite foams

Abstract

Development of polymeric foams evolved as major research area due to its unique exclusive properties like lightweight low density and optimum usage of polymeric materials compared to non foamed counterparts However degradability is a major area of concern for petro based polymeric foams The ultimate disposal and environmental aspects of the non degradable foams leads to the development of bio based and biodegradable green foams Major developed biodegradable foam mainly includes starch based...
