Preparation and characterization of poly lactic acid (PLA) / polyoxymethylene (POM) blends

Plastics are important material in producing goods, for example electronic casing, plastic bag, diapers, groceries apparatus and automotive parts. Many researches have been conducted that polylactic acid (PLA) was produced as a biodegradable thermoplastic polyester from lactic acid. However, PLA has...

Many researches have been conducted that polylactic acid (PLA) was produced as a biodegradable thermoplastic polyester from lactic acid.

The PLA/POM blends was loaded with 1wt%, 3wt% and 5wt% modified nano clay (C-20).The mechanical properties of the blends were assessed by means of universal testing machine while thermal properties were analysed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Scanning electron microscope was used to study the dispersion and particles size of POM in PLA also C-20 in PLA matrix. The results show, the tensile strength, young’s modulus and elongation at break PLA/POM increased with increasing ratio of clay (C-20).
