“…The enhanced compatibility of the g-MCC/PLA films produced better mechanical properties, including the mechanical strength, elongation at break and initial modulus than those of both the MCC/PLA and MC/PLA composites. The oxidative chlorine of g-MCC/PLA was highly stable compared to that of MC/PLA films, providing long-term antimicrobial activity [98].…”

This review presents the advances in polymeric materials achieved by extrusion and injection molding from lignocellulosic agroindustrial biomass. Biomass, which is derived from agricultural and industrial waste, is a renewable and abundant feedstock that contains mainly cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. To improve the properties and functions of polymeric materials, cellulose is subjected to a variety of modifications. The most common modifications are surface modification, grafting, chemical procedures, and molecule chemical grafting. Injection molding and extrusion technologies are crucial in shaping and manufacturing polymer composites, with precise control over the process and material selection. Furthermore, injection molding involves four phases: plasticization, injection, cooling, and ejection, with a focus on energy efficiency. Fundamental aspects of an injection molding machine, such as the motor, hopper, heating units, nozzle, and clamping unit, are discussed. Extrusion technology, commonly used as a preliminary step to injection molding, presents challenges regarding fiber reinforcement and stress accumulation, while lignin-based polymeric materials are challenging due to their hydrophobicity. The diverse applications of these biodegradable materials include automotive industries, construction, food packaging, and various consumer goods. Polymeric materials are positioned to offer even bigger contributions to sustainable and eco-friendly solutions in the future, as research and development continues.

“…Poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) derived from renewable resources, such as starch-rich crops and sugarcane, is an important biodegradable bioplastic alternative to petroleum-based plastics because of its good biodegradability, biocompatibility, and processability, and also because it is the cheapest biodegradable bioplastic [1][2][3]. PLLA has been applied for use in biomedical applications [4][5][6], agriculture [7], sport [8], and packaging [9][10][11][12]. However, the low flexibility of PLLA has restricted its practical use and wider applications [3,13].…”

Poly(L-lactide)-b-poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(L-lactide) (PLLA-PEG-PLLA) shows promise for use in bioplastic applications due to its greater flexibility over PLLA. However, further research is needed to improve PLLA-PEG-PLLA’s properties with appropriate fillers. This study employed zinc phenylphosphate (PPZn) as a multi-functional filler for PLLA-PEG-PLLA. The effects of PPZn addition on PLLA-PEG-PLLA characteristics, such as crystallization and thermal and mechanical properties, were investigated. There was good phase compatibility between the PPZn and PLLA-PEG-PLLA. The addition of PPZn improved PLLA-PEG-PLLA’s crystallization properties, as evidenced by the disappearance of the cold crystallization temperature, an increase in the crystallinity, an increase in the crystallization temperature, and a decrease in the crystallization half-time. The PLLA-PEG-PLLA’s thermal stability and heat resistance were enhanced by the addition of PPZn. The PPZn addition also enhanced the mechanical properties of the PLLA-PEG-PLLA, as demonstrated by the rise in ultimate tensile stress and Young’s modulus. We can conclude that the PPZn has potential for use as a multi-functional filler for the PLLA-PEG-PLLA composite due to its nucleating-enhancing, thermal-stabilizing, and reinforcing ability.

“…Another polymer with the potential to improve PLA's attributes is Polycaprolactone (PCL), a synthetic polymer with excellent biodegradability. While both PLA and PCL share hydrophobicity and biodegradability, they differ in physical characteristics Ncube et al (2020), Yu et al (2021, , An et al (2023).…”

The extensive utilization of petrochemical polymer-based plastics has led to significant environmental challenges. A viable solution involves the incorporation of high-quality biomaterials as a substitute for traditional plastics. In pursuit of this goal, Polylactic Acid (PLA) and Polycaprolactone (PCL) biopolymers were combined with catechin and nano chitosan additives to innovate food packaging materials. The process involved the utilization of a screw extruder for mixing and melting. The sample formulation employed a combination of PLA polymer (9.5 g) and PCL (0.5 g). The variations in catechin (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30%), while nano chitosan was added in concentrations (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30%). The highest tensile strength recorded, at 45.10 MPa, was achieved by sample SA4, as indicated by tensile strength testing, FTIR analysis, and colony reduction. FT-IR analysis revealed the presence of functional groups, namely N-H, C-H, C=O, and C-O, signifying successful interactions between the PLA/PCL matrix blend and the additive components of nanochitosan and catechins. Remarkably, sample SA4 exhibited a remarkable 96% reduction in S. aureus bacterial colonies following 24 hours of storage.
