The rapid growth of plastic production is considered as a serious source of environment pollution. Approximately 100 million tons of plastics are produced each year and within a short period of time almost half are disposed to the environment. A way to overcome this problem would be the use of biodegradable polymers. Several attempts are made to replace synthetic polymers by biodegradable ones. Nevertheless, th...

Important information concerning polymer’s final fate in the environment can be achieved in biodegradation studies performed in the aquatic environment. In this context, the focus of the present work was to evaluate the biodegradability level of blends containing aliphatic polyesters using standard methods. Blends of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and five biodegradable polymers (poly(lactic acid) (PLA), poly...
This work aimed to prepare biodegradable polymeric materials based on blends of a synthetic high density polyethylene (HDPE) and biodegradable polymers such as polylactic acid (PCL) and poly(caprolactone) (PLA), in a co-rotating twin-screw extruder. A polyethylene modified with maleic anhydride was used as compatibiliser. The mechanical results showed that the addition of PLA improves the blends stiffness while...
