Effect of Iignocellulosic Nanoparticles Extracted from Yerba Mate (<i>Ilex paraguariensis</i>) on the Structural, Thermal, Optical and Barrier Properties of Mechanically Recycled Poly(lactic acid)

In this work, yerba mate nanoparticles (YMNs) were extracted from <i>Ilex paraguairiencis</i> yerba mate wastes and further used to improve the overall performance of mechanically recycled PLA (PLAR). Recycled PLA was obtained by melt reprocessing PLA subjected to an accelerated ageing p...
