Biodegradable polymers can be used for various applications such as packaging, catering products, electronics, textiles, agricultural applications, and biomedical applications because of their sustainability and environmental friendliness. Among the biodegradable polymers, PLA is considered one of the most promising options for alleviating environmental pollution and waste accumulation. In particular, PLA has attracted attention for use in packaging materials because of its low cost, stiffness, transparency, processability, and biocompatibility compared with other biodegradable polymers such as PHAs, polyethylene glycol, and poly(caprolactone). In this presentation, an overview of biodegradable polymers and our research on improving properties of biodegradable blends by additives are introduced. In addition, the research is demonstrate their application for packaging materials in large-scale processes |
