Structural Analyses of Biodegradable Printed Samples

Abstract

The aim of the present study is to investigate the chemical and physical structure of two printed lignin/PLA based biodegradable polymers, Fiber Wood ® and Arboblend V2 Nature reinforced with Extrudr BDP Pearl. Also, are realized correlations with some previous results published by the research team. The analysis methods used are Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope analysis. The revealed information's confirm the biodegradable structure of the printed samples, thus, facilitating the understanding of some mechanical and thermal characteristics, making it much easier to offer some recommendations regarding the substitution of nonbiodegradable synthetic thermoplastics with Fiber Wood ® and Arboblend V2 Nature reinforced with Extrudr BDP Pear materials.
