ABSTRACT Due to increasing environmental concerns and depletion of petroleum resources, the use green materials has become popular with garment industry. In past, natural rubber, which is one most prevalent bio‐based elastomers, was used as waterproof coating for many applications due its inherent elasticity, high tear abrasion resistance, hydrophobicity. However, NR significant drawbacks when applying garments including poor adhesion polyester fabrics low breathability. Polyurethane, on...
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is one of the most popular biodegradable thermoplastics in market 3D printing filaments used material extrusion (ME) technique. This because it can be printed easily at low temperatures. However, its inherent brittleness limits use many applications. In this work, toughness PLA filament was improved by blending with various types rubbers including natural rubber (NR), acrylic core–shell (CSR), and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) amount 15% weight. PLA/TPU found to...
