Environmental friendly biocomposites are urgently needed to mitigate the pollution caused by huge consumption of petroleum-based polymers. Renewable carrageenan and polylactic acid (PLA) natural polymers have the potential to replace petroleum-origin polymers. Nevertheless, the carrageenan and PLA t...
