| Özet |
| This study develops and characterizes polylactic acid (PLA) based biocomposites reinforced with black cumin cake (BC) for biodegradable cutlery applications. BC was incorporated at 20–40 wt% alongside 3 wt% talc and compatibilized with maleated PLA. Neat PLA exhibited a tensile strength of 46.34 MPa and modulus of 1043 MPa, while 40% of BC added sample showed reduced strength (12.20 MPa), which improved to 15.30 MPa with compatibilization. The addition of BC significantly enhanced surface hardness from 77.83 Shore D (PLA) to 84.9 Shore D (BC40). DSC results showed a substantial rise in crystallinity from 5.18% (PLA) to 27.60% at 30 wt% BC and the complete suppression of cold crystallization. Thermal stability decreased with BC loading, with T5 falling from 290.4°C to 214.2°C, while char yield increased from 0.5% to 14.5%. Soil burial tests demonstrated enhanced biodegradation … |
