Abstract In order to limit the negative impact of industry on natural environment,
ecological alternatives to conventional polymers are being proposed. One of the
most popular “green” polymers is polylactide, which can also be successfully
applied as a matrix of composites. The application of ground linseed cake as a
filler for polylactide-based composites is in line with the idea of Circular Economy, and moreover it provides a modifying effect on the polymer by increasing its
crystallinity and reducing its brittleness. This effect is caused by the presence of
linseed oil which can be released to the polymeric matrix in a non-controlled… More >
