Evaluation of Mussel Shells Powder as Reinforcement for PLA-Based Biocomposites
The use of biopolyesters, as polymeric matrices, and natural fillers derived from wastes or by-products of food production to achieve biocomposites is nowadays a reality. The present paper aims to valorize mussel shells, 95% made of calcium carbonate (CaCO<sub>3</sub>), converting them i...
