Tailoring the low-density polyethylene - thermoplastic starch composites using cellulose nanocrystals and compatibilizer

In this study, the mechanical, barrier, and biodegradation characteristics of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and thermoplastic starch (TPS) composites with and without compatibilizer (CA), cellulose nanocrystal (CNCs), and their combination was investigated and compared. The results revealed the LD...
