Preparation and Characterization of Films Extruded of Polyethylene/Chitosan Modified with Poly(lactic acid)

Preparation and Characterization of Films Extruded of Polyethylene/Chitosan Modified with Poly(lactic acid)

The use of mixtures of synthetic and natural polymers is a potential option to reduce the pollution by plastic waste. In this work, the method for the chemical modification of chitosan with poly(lactic acid) was developed; then, the preparation of films of blends of polyethylene and chitosan-poly(la...
