Beeswax as a natural alternative to synthetic waxes for fabrication of PLA/diatomaceous earth composites
Abstract In this study, injection moulding was applied to produce biocomposites consisting of polylactide (PLA) and amorphous diatomaceous earth used as a filler at different concentrations. Natural wax and synthetic wax were added to improve processing properties, comparing the resulting biocomposi...
