A Comparative Analysis on PLA Based Aluminium Foils for Food Package

Abstract

Nano aluminium based PLA composites for foil preparations is one of the better choices for food packaging on basis of biodegradability after usage. Present scenarios focused on the biodegradability of packing base due to micronize pollution effect in the environment. Present research focuses on structural thermal degradable properties of PLA base aluminum foils with experimentation and computational simulation using Ansys. The work carried out using Al2O3 nano, aluminium, natural biodegradable with PLA, after the experimentation best results got for 60 µm thickness of foil in all the experiments. The further work carried out by doing computational structural analysis to compare foil strength at different temperature conditions for further validation of results thermal stability of the foil compared both experimentally and with Ansys work bench. Present work concludes a novel phenomenon in foil preparation to increase biodegradability up to 10 percentage when compared with regular aluminum foils.
