Poly (lactic acid) or poly (lactide)(PLA) is a renewable, bio-based, and biodegradable
aliphatic thermoplastic polyester that is considered a promising alternative to petrochemical …

In this article, we review the modification of natural rubber (NR) latex into the engineered
particles for make use of them in functional nanocomposites. The review focuses on tuning …

Chain shuttling polymerization has facilitated the rapid development of olefin block
copolymers (OBCs) such as ethylene/1-octene multi-block copolymers. The properties of …

Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) is a well-known sustainable plastic but with an inherent brittleness,
slow crystallization rate, and poor heat resistance, which significantly limits its application. In …

The inherent shortcoming of brittleness for polylactide (PLA) was resolved through a facile
melt blending of PLA with both ethylene-acrylic ester-glycidyl methacrylate random …

Thermally expandable microspheres (TEMs) are liquid‐core, polymer‐shelled particles that
are useful in both current industry and future manufacturing and basic research applications …

Here, we spearhead a new approach to biopolymer impact modification that demonstrates
superior performance while maintaining greater than 99% compostability. Using soybean …

As a promising substitute for traditional thermoplastic elastomers, olefin block copolymers
(OBCs) exhibit a marvelous application potential in many fields. To further improve the …
