Improving and predicting the mechanical properties of foamed and stretched composite poly(lactic acid) films

Foamed poly(lactic acid) films reinforced with micro-crystalline cellulose (MCC), were uniaxially stretched to different ratios. At 10% (weight) loading MCC particles gave an approximately 3.5 times improvement in stiffness over unreinforced foams. X-ray tomography and image analysis showed that mos...
