Abstract

Correction for ‘Comparative study of the extrinsic properties of poly(lactic acid)-based biocomposites filled with talc versus sustainable biocarbon’ by Michael R. Snowdon et al., RSC Adv., 2019, 9, 6752–6761, DOI: 10.1039/C9RA00034H.

The authors regret that the values given for oxygen and water vapor permeability in Table 1 were incorrect in the original article. The correct version of the table is shown here.
Table 1 Oxygen and water vapor permeability of the PLA composites and their diffusion path length with tortuosity factors
Sample Oxygen permeability at 23 °C and 0% RH (cm3 mm m−2 day−1 atm−1) Water vapor permeability at 38 °C and 100% RH (g mm m−2 day−1) Total path of diffusing gas (μm) Tortuosity factor
PLA 7.37 ± (0.39) 16.83 ± (0.69) 0.63 1.00
PLA/talc 5.66 ± (0.09) 12.50 ± (0.67) 0.78 1.23
PLA/BC 8.50 ± (0.25) 19.58 ± (0.57) 0.64 1.01
PLA/BC24 h 8.38 ± (0.17) 16.84 ± (0.27) 0.66 1.04
