Bioplastics Blending and Compounding in Practice

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 courseand learn how to improve the properties of your biopolymers:

1.选择right polymer(TPS, PLA, PBS, PCL, PHA/PHB, PBAT, PVOH…)to blendwith 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 processincluding properly adding & mixing your bioplastics blends to create a new material with different physical properties.

R&D professionals&Compoundersneeding help to improve their bioplastics performance (impact strength, thermal resistance, stiffness…) must opt for this course.
