Abstract

Journal of Reinforced Plastics and Composites, Volume 45, Issue 7-8, Page 1906-1915, April 2026.
This study develops eco-friendly composites by blending polylactic acid (PLA) with cyanobacteria (Arthrospira platensis) using solvent-free planetary ball milling and hot-pressing. The objective is to address the industry’s plastic waste from non-...
