Multifunctional Particle Additives for Enhancement of Degradation and Toughness of Poly(lactic acid) in Fused Filament Fabrication

About this Digital Document

The use of sustainable polymers is a promising solution to reduce the persistence of petroleum-based plastics in the environment. Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a renewably-sourced, biodegradable polymer used in additive manufacturing, packaging, and healthca
