The mechanical properties of pure PLA and PLA nano-composite films.
| Sample | Elasticity Modulus (EM) | Tensile Strength (TS) | Elongation of Break (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| PLA/Ag/ZnO-3 | 2528.20 ± 223.54 bc | 36.15 ± 5.55 c | 8.40 ± 0.11 b |
| PLA/Ag/ZnO-1 | 2204.31 ± 297.81 c | 28.16 ± 2.69 d | 12.22 ± 0.12 a |
| PLA/Ag | 2811.76 ± 167.26 ab | 44.30 ± 3.62 ab | 6.68 ± 0.10 d |
| PLA/ZnO | 2610.64 ± 297.51 b | 38.96 ± 8.19 bc | 7.74 ± 0.17 c |
| PLA | 3118.79 ± 333.39 a | 47.78 ± 5.18 a | 5.35 ± 0.06 e |
Values followed by different superscript letters (a–e) in the same column were significantly different (p < 0.05), where a is the highest value.
