What is Preparation and Characterization of Composites PLA and Beeswax about?

This study investigates the enhancement of water vapor barrier properties in polylactic acid (PLA) films through the addition of beeswax and the plasticizer ATBC. The results indicate that incorporating 1% beeswax significantly reduces water vapor permeability by 58% compared to neat PLA, while also increasing the degree of crystallinity. However, the mechanical properties, such as tensile strength and elongation at break, decrease by approximately 50%, indicating a need for further research to improve thes
