Poly(lactic acid), which is most commonly referred to by its acronym PLA, is a polymer that may be recycled and naturally deteriorated. It is also inherently fragile and has a low impact strength. PLA, when mixed with eggshells powder, can produce a PLA/ESP composites. The purpose of this study was...
