Mechanical and Electrical Properties of Polylactic Acid with Aliphatic-Aromatic Polyester

Assuming an application where polylactic acid (PLA), a hard bioplastic, is used to sheath electrical wire, the author added 20 wt% of aliphatic-aromatic polyester or polybutyrate adipate terephthalate (PBAT), a soft resin, to PLA and then investigated the softened PLA’s mechanical and electrical pro...
