Mechanical Properties and Morphology of Poly(Lactic Acid) Composites with Oyster Shell Particles

Article Preview

Abstract:

The biodegradable composites were prepared with the oyster shell particles (OSP) and poly(lactic acid)(PLA) by injection molding. The mechanical and thermal properties were investigated. The degradation temperature of the composites decreased by increasing the content of OSP compared with PLA. From the results of tensile test, the tensile strength and the fracture strain of the composites decreased because of exist of OSP. However, the Young’s moduli of the composites increased compared with PLA. The SEM observation of morphology confirmed that the interface between PLA and OSP had poor adhesion.
