A Study of the Influence of Environmental Factors on the Properties of Polymer Composites Based on Polylactic Acid

Abstract

The aim of the present work was to optimise the content of large-tonnage polymer and modifiers in polylactic acid so that the material does not lose its capacity to decompose when exposed to environmental factors (ultraviolet radiation, moisture, soil microorganisms).

Keywords

polylactic acid high-density polyethylene divinylstyrene thermoplastic elastomer ultraviolet radiation hydrolytic decomposition decomposition in soil polymer blends physicomechanical properties
