Study of the Destructive Properties of Biodegradable Wood-Filled Composite Material

Abstract

To date, excessive use of non-degradable petrochemical-based polymers has resulted in a serious threat to the environment. In this regard, in recent years, green polymers are receiving more and more attention, because they are biocompatible, biodegradable and resistant in nature. Among these biopolymers, polylactide is considered the most promising alternative to traditional polymers due to its good biodegradability, biocompatibility and thermal stability, acceptable mechanical properties and excellent processability. This article has developed a biodegradable composite material based on polylactide and wood filler, subject to thermal modification. It was established that the addition of the maximum amount of vegetable filler reduces the time of decomposition of the composite, as a result of which it can be used in the packaging, food industry, as well as in agriculture and in everyday life.
