Modification of poly(lactic acid)/poly(propylene carbonate) blends through melt compounding with maleic anhydride
Maleic anhydride (MA) is incorporated into poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) blends to modify its properties through melt compounding. It is interesting to note that the toughness of PLA/PPC blends can be improved by 1355% while the strength is almost kept constant by adding ve...
