Riassunto

Sustainable Polylactide-Based Composites integrates fundamental knowledge pertaining to manufacturing and characterization of polymer composites with a thorough and critical overview of the state-of-the-art in PLA-based composites, including significant past and recent advances. The book begins with insights into the basics of polymer composites, with special reference to sustainable composites, as well as fundamental knowledge related to PLA. This is followed by chapters on manufacturing methods, morphological characterization techniques, and the mechanical models used for polymer composites. A comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in PLA-based sustainable composites of all extensively used fillers is then presented.

After providing fundamental knowledge related to PLA and polymer composites, including structure-property-processing relationship, the book focuses on recent research efforts and key research challenges in the development of PLA-based composites, as well as lifecycle assessment and recycling.

Her research interests include microcellular processing and the structure-property-processing relationship of polymeric materials.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Sustainable Polylactide-Based Composites integrates fundamental knowledge pertaining to manufacturing and characterization of polymer composites with a thorough and critical overview of the state-of-the-art in PLA-based composites, including significant past and recent advances.

The book begins with an insight into the basics of polymer composites, with special reference to sustainable composites, as well as fundamental knowledge related to PLA. This is followed by chapters on the manufacturing methods, the morphological characterization techniques, and the mechanical models used for polymer composites. After providing fundamental knowledge related to PLA and polymer composites, including structure-property-processing relationship, the book focuses on recent research efforts and key research challenges in the development of PLA-based composites, as well as life cycle assessment and recycling. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in PLA-based sustainable composites of all extensively used fillers, which find use in a spectrum of applications, such as load-bearing applications, flexible packaging and biomedical applications. All concepts are illustrated with case studies, enabling the readers to correlate theory with practical applications.

This is a valuable resource for researchers and advanced students across polymer science, composite science, chemistry, materials science, and engineering, as well as engineers, scientists, and R&D professionals looking to utilize sustainable materials across a range of industries.
