Effect of Cooling Air in the Film Blowing Process on the Properties of PLA/PBAT Films
Open accessAbstract
Poly(lactide) (PLA) and poly(butylene‐adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) blends are among the most promising biodegradable materials for flexible packaging applications and the film blowing is one of the most common techniques to make plastic films. In this work, a study on the effect of the cooling air during the production process of blown films made by compatibilized PLA/PBAT blend has been performed. The application of cooling air has led to a significant reduction of the thermal shrinkage of the films in the transverse direction, respect to the machine direction, and has been beneficial in order to improve their mechanical and optical properties.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
