From Biomass to Filament: Processing and Performance of a PLA Poly(lactic acid) Pine Cone-Filled Composite in Additive Manufacturing
This research evaluates the compounding, processing, and performance of a sustainable biocomposite filament for additive manufacturing, utilizing poly(lactic acid) (PLA) filled with raw pine cone (Pinus sylvestris) flour at 5 and 10 wt% filler contents. Tensile properties, surface topography, and processability of extr...
