Biodegradable Polymer Blends: Mechanical Evaluation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Recycled PP, with reference PP1B, has been supplied by Acteco (Ibi, Spain), PLA 4032D by NatureWorks LLC (Minnetonka, MN, USA), TPS Mater Bi by Novamont (Novara, Italy) and PHB P226 by Biomer (Krailling, Germany).
The blends were made by mixing PP with different percentages of biodegradable polymers, that ranged from 0 to 15 wt.%, as can be seen in the Table 1, in a twin screw extruder (Dupra S.L., Castalla, Spain), processed at a temperature range of 200–220 °C at 50 rpm. The blend samples were then injected by an injection molding process using a Babyplast estandar 6.6 (Cronoplast S.L., Albrera, Spain) machine with a mold with normalized sample dimensions for tensile test according to ISO-527-2, specifically 5A samples.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
