Thermal Insulation and Mechanical Properties of Polylactic Acid (PLA) at Different Processing Conditions

Thermal Insulation and Mechanical Properties of Polylactic Acid (PLA) at Different Processing Conditions

This work aims to provide an extensive evaluation on the use of polylactic acid (PLA) as a green, biodegradable thermal insulation material. The PLA was processed by melt extrusion followed by compression molding and then subjected to different annealing conditions. Afterwards, the thermal insulatio...
