Poly (lactic acid)/triacetine plasticized cellulose acetate (PLA/pCA) blends were prepared by
extrusion at two different temperatures and tetrabutylammonium tetraphenyl borate …

Abstract Poly (lactic) acid (PLA) is a biodegradable polymer that has attracted interest as a
potential substitute for some thermoplastic polymers. However, its advanced brittleness at …

Cellulose acetate (CA) with a degree of substitution (DS) of 2.5 and polylactic acid (PLLA)
were plasticized by melt extrusion using triacetin. Blends of resulting thermoplastic materials …

Binary blends based on poly (lactic acid)(PLA) and polycaprolactone (PCL) were prepared
by melt mixing in a twin‐screw co‐rotating extruder in order to increase the low intrinsic …

In the perspective of producing a rigid renewable and environmentally friendly rigid
packaging material, two comb-like copolymers of cellulose acetate (AC) and oligo (lactic …

Poly (lactic acid) has been gaining prominence in academia and industry, mainly due to
being a biopolymer and biodegradable material. Nevertheless, mainly due to its high …

Plasticized poly (lactic acid)(PPLA) was prepared by melt blending poly (lactic acid)(PLA)
with 10 wt% of poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG), with varied molecular weights range from 400 to …

ABSTRACT Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) is a biobased polymer made from biomass having high
mechanical properties for engineering materials applications. However, PLA has certain …

The disadvantages of the poor mechanical properties of polylactic acid (PLA) limit its ability
to be used in a wide number of applications. Melt blending of PLA and thermoplastic …

An approach for making poly (lactic acid)(PLA) single‐polymer composites (SPCs) on the
basis of PLA's slowly crystallizing characteristics was investigated. As a slowly crystallizing …
