INVESTIGATION OF THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF POLYLACTIC ACID (PLA) BASED MELTBLOWN NONWOVENS FOR AGRICULTURAL APPLICATIONS
Abstract
In this paper, a preliminary research was conducted to investigate some physical properties of PLA based meltblown nonwovens for agricultural applications. Air permeability, thickness, basis weight, biodegradability and fiber diameter properties of the samples were investigated. PLA based nonwovens that are suitable to be used without damaging the environment were obtained. Such bioplastic nonwovens can be used in various agricultural applications. The samples obtained in this research provided suitable air permeability, thickness and basis weight values for use in agricultural textiles, while being biologically degradable in ecological conditions in natural environments. Bioplastic meltblown nonwoven of 5.8-10.5 μm were obtained in this research.
The results of the research presented in this paper will be used for the selection of a specific agricultural application and thus extensive research will be conducted for product development of the selected product type.
