- Additional information
- The performance of biodegradable polylactide (PLA) and polylactide/polyhydroxyalkanoate (PLA/PHA) over their lifecycle is depended on the processing conditions and build direction when specimens are obtained by 3D printing. This research demonstrates that sustainable plastics can be made using fully biodegradable polymers with careful consideration of the manufacturing processes employed. This international collaborative work was supported by the Pla de Promoció de Investigació de la Universitat Jaume I (PREDOC/2012/32 and E-2016-32).
