Table 3.

Onset and degradation temperatures, weight loss and volatile release rate during thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).

Films T onset T d,max Weight Loss between Tonset and Td,max (%) Volatile Release Rate (wt %/°C)
PLA 348.0 365.9 44.0 2.5
PLA/ZN 330.5 353.3 45.9 2.0
PLA/ZN.Q.CNC0.5 330.6 354.8 46.9 1.9
PLA/ZN.Q.CNC1 331.0 354.0 44.7 1.9

Tonset: onset decomposition temperature. Td,max: temperature at maximum degradation rate.
