ABSTRACT Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a biodegradable aliphatic polymer obtained from renewable sources; its main application in the packaging sector. Electronic components require use of antistatic that prevents damage and electric shock. As PLA has no conductive characteristics, it requires addition allotropic carbon forms such as black to make less resistive dissipative material making suitable for manufacture packaging. In this study, was melt blended with 5, 10, 15 wt % black. The...
