Biodegradable materials are used in packaging, agriculture, medicine and other areas. In
recent years there has been an increase in interest in biodegradable polymers. Two classes …

Polylactic acid (PLA) and Starch are both bio-based biodegradable polymers that have
properties that are complementary to each other. PLA/starch blend exploits the good …

Research toward bio‐based and biodegradable polymers has received a lot of attention
these last years, due to environmental concerns and the need to replace fossil resources …

In recent years, there has been a marked increase in the interest in use of biodegradable
materials in packaging. The principal function of packaging is protection and preservation of …

Frequently, the classical self-assembly techniques applied to amphiphilic glycopolymers
lead to primitive morphologies, ie spherical micelles/nanoparticles. Herein, we report a facile …

In this work, MoS 2 nanosheets were employed to reinforce PLA. In order to promote the
homogeneous dispersion of MoS 2 in PLA and form a strong interface between MoS 2 and …

We introduce a novel double-hydrophilic hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) based diblock
glycopolymer which self-assembles into homogeneous spherical micellar structures in …

Among all photosensitive monomers reported in the literature, o-nitrobenzyl acrylate (NBA)
was selected in this present study. Two strategies were compared to produce azido …

In this study, a one-step extrusion method is proposed to prepare blended polylactic acid
(PLA)/thermoplastic starch (TPS) using a novel plant-derived compatibilizer, pyrogallic acid …

In this study, a new graft copolymer (SS-g-PLA) was constructed by combining sericin and
polylactide (PLA) via ring-opening polymerization (ROP) having Sn (Oct) 2 as a catalyst. In …
