The work explains the mechanism of the improvement of oxygen barrier performance of cold-
crystalized polylactide (PLA) modified with low molecular weight compounds (triethyl citrate …

Sustainable polymers are important alternatives to plastics and elastomers derived from
petroleum resources. Poly (lactide)(PLA), a commercially available sustainable plastic, is a …

In this work, the use of an environmentally friendly plasticizer derived epoxidized cottonseed
oil (ECSO) for poly (lactic acid)(PLA) is proposed. Melt extrusion was used to plasticize PLA …

This work describes the change of gas permeability of epoxy coatings thermally aged at
different temperatures from 50 to 200° C in order to address their barrier properties for …

Abstract Poly (lactic acid), PLA, is a polyester that can be produced from lactic acid derived
from renewable resources. This polymer offers attracting uses in packaging industry due to …

Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) is a biobased and biodegradable polymer which constitutes a
promising alternative to conventional plastics in food packaging. However, due to its water …

This article surveys some exciting possibilities and results offered by less common, yet
essential applications of differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis …

The use of a new bio-based plasticizer derived from epoxidized chia seed oil (ECO) was
applied in a poly (lactic acid)(PLA) matrix. ECO was used due to its high epoxy content …

Physical aging on wholly amorphous polylactide (PLA) has been performed by means of
standard differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and fast scanning calorimetry (FSC) just …

Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) was plasticized with maleinized linseed oil (MLO) and further
reinforced with sheep wool fibers recovered from the dairy industry. The wool fibers were …
