- In the past years, the topic of modern food packaging has made substantial advances resulting from global trends and consumer preferences.
- 3D printed parts made from Polylactic acid (PLA) have a brittle nature when subjected to out-of-plane loading, e.g., impact.
- Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is one of the polymers most widely used in the packaging industry.
- Isotactic polypropylene (iPP or PP) has several disadvantages that are corrected by blending, viz.
- Even at low content, polypropylene significantly worsens mechanical properties of the recycled PVC composite, i.e. tensile strength at break and elongation at break.
- Disadvantages in the use of polylactic acid (PLA) as a base material for Tissue Engineering applications include the low osteoconductivity of this biomaterial, its acidic degradation and the deficient cellular adhesion on its surface.
