Combined compatibilization and plasticization effect of low molecular weight poly(lactic acid) in poly(lactic acid)/poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) blends

Combined compatibilization and plasticization effect of low molecular weight poly(lactic acid) in poly(lactic acid)/poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) blends

Improving overall properties of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) by blending it with another biobased polymer has been a strong field of research over the last years. In this study we demonstrate the synergetic effect of a small amount (between 0.1 and 1 wt%) of oligomer-like PLA (oLA) on the thermal, mechan...
