PLA II
optimisation of the formulation, the extrusion process and subsequent processing steps
Centexbel desires to expand the knowledge on the processability of PLA in textile processes.
In the second project we evaluate the polymer formulas with a favourable effect on the mechanical properties and we will examine the processing of PLA in final applications and the impact of process variations on the polymer formulation. PLA is a polyester and hence sensible for moisture that can influence the final product and prematurely affect the mechanical properties. Therefore the PLA Hydrolysis is a crucial element in the study.
