Summary: Polylactic acid (PLA) is a commercially available biopolymer that is widely used in additive manufacturing. However, its low ductility and impact strength limit its application in commercial plastic products. This research aims to improve the mechanical properties of PLA composites by using biobased materials. The addition of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS), as well as polyethylene glycol (PEG) and maleic anhydride (MA), was found to enhance the mechanical and ductile properties of PLA. The results suggest that the incorporation of CNC, plasticizer, and coupling agent can improve the physical and mechanical properties of PLA composites.

Evaluating the effective creep properties of graphene-reinforced polymer nanocomposites by a homogenization approach

M. K. Hassanzadeh-Aghdam

Summary: The creep modulus of graphene nanoplatelet (GNP)-reinforced epoxy nanocomposites is estimated through a homogenization approach using the Mori-Tanaka micromechanical model, taking into consideration the agglomeration of GNPs and the interphase region. The simulations show that uniform dispersion of graphene nanoparticles significantly enhances the creep modulus, while GNP agglomeration has a negative effect on improving creep properties. Epoxy nanocomposites reinforced by aligned GNPs exhibit better creep properties compared to randomly dispersed-reinforced nanocomposites, with an increase of about 17% in creep modulus with 1% graphene volume fraction.
