Polylactic acid (PLA) is a promising biodegradable alternative to petroleum-based polymers, yet its industrial applications are hindered by inherent brittleness and low elongation at break. This study aims to enhance PLA’s mechanical performance by investigating the effects of epoxidized palm stearin (EPS) as a bio-bas...

This study evaluated the effect of polymer reinforcement obtained from a PET/PP (polyethylene terephthalate/polypropylene) blend, in a 50/50 (% by weight) ratio, incorporated into a cementitious matrix at contents of 0.5%, 0.75%, and 1.0% (% by weight). The polymers used were sourced from industrial packaging waste, ai...
