Effect of bubble nucleating agents derived from biochar on the foaming mechanism of poly lactic acid foams

Improvement and new technologies for effective poly (lactic acid) (PLA) foaming are still in developing. This study examines the ability of biochar (BC) to assist in PLA foaming through a supercritical CO2 batch process. To determine suitable foaming parameters, process optimization was conducted on...
