Why should you view this course?
Processing of bioplastics, especially biodegradable ones (PHA/PHB, PLA, PVOH, PBS…) to achieve optimum performance (impact strength, thermal resistance, stiffness…) is a challenge. And, with a variety of polymers and additives available in the market, this challenge becomes complex and inevitable.
But, don’t worry, we have got your back! Join this course and learn how to improve the properties of your biopolymers:
1. Select the right polymer (TPS, PLA, PBS, PCL, PHA/PHB, PBAT, PVOH…) to blend with your bioplastics by mapping the various possibilities to achieve best results.
2. Formulate bioplastics with enhanced properties (impact strength, thermal resistance, stiffness, processability, product uniformity...) by determining the right formulation conditions (use of compatibilizers, impact modifiers, nucleating agents…).
3. Follow a structured approach for your compounding process including properly adding & mixing your bioplastics blends to create a new material with different physical properties.
