MECHANICAL PROPERTIES, MORPHOLOGY, AND HYDROLYTIC DEGRADATION BEHAVIOR OF POLYLACTIC ACID / THERMOPLASTIC POLYURETHANE BLENDS
Polylactic acid (PLA) has attracted tremendous interest to be utilized as the replacement for petroleum-based polymers as it possesses good biodegradability, can be derived from renewable sources, and shows high mechanical strength. However, its inherent brittleness and low toughness has limited its...
