Polystyrene (PS) is one of the commonly used polymer in food packaging, that is why it generates a large amount of residue PS: Due to the need of reduce environmental damage that occurs, it is common recycle this polymer.Recycling of PS may be affected by the introduction of biodegradable polymer in industrial food. For this reason we have studied the influence that generates small amounts of biodegradable polymer (PLA, PHB and TPS) in the recycled PS properties.The recycled PS and biodegradables polymers blends were evaluated by measuring the VST, MFI, FTIR and mechanical properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
