Development of biodegradable PLA composites and tangerine peel flour with improved toughness containing a natural-based terpenoid

The present work reports on the development of environmentally friendly, completely biodegradable wood plastic composites based on polylactide (PLA) and tangerine peel flour (TPF), plasticized by α-terpinyl acetate (TA). The TPF varied in the 10–30 wt% while the PLA to TA (wt%/wt%) was set to 4 (i.e...
