High-performance polylactic acid composites reinforced by artificially cultured diatom frustules

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a promising biodegradable polyester, however, the brittle nature of PLA restricts its applications. In this study, PLA is reinforced by artificially cultured diatom frustules (DFs) to prepare high-performance and biodegradable polymer composites via melt blending. Interpenet...
