Mechanical Properties of Polylactic acid and Polyethylene Blends Composites

The blends of polylactic acid (PLA) and linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) were prepared and extruded with various compositions. The mechanical properties of the prepared blends, including tensile properties and impact strength, were compared with neat PLA. It was observed that LLDPE addition decreased the tensile strength and modulus of PLA/LLDPE blend while increased impact strength
