The addition of the T-ZnO whisker to the PBAT/PLA blend showed an increasing trend in the tensile strength of the composite films, which can be attributed to uniform distribution of the T-ZnO whisker in the PBAT/PLA blend matrix [ 19 ], and the ability of the T-ZnO whisker to withstand stress and transfer to the tetra pod needles when the force is applied to one dimension of the needle [ 21 ].
