Journal ArticleDOI
Study of Biodegradable Polylactide/Poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) Blends
TL;DR: In this study, PLA and PBAT were melt blended using a twin screw extruder and showed decreased tensile strength and modulus; however, elongation and toughness were dramatically increased.
Journal ArticleDOI
Research progress in toughening modification of poly(lactic acid)
Hongzhi Liu,Jinwen Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the recent progress in PLA toughening using various routes including plasticization, copolymerization, and melt blending with flexible polymers, was reviewed in detail.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of polylactide/nano-sized calcium carbonate and polylactide/montmorillonite composites: Reinforcing effects and toughening mechanisms
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the nano-sized precipitated calcium carbonate (NPCC) and organically modified montmorillonite (MMT) clay with PLA nanocomposites by melt extrusion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical and thermal properties of extruded soy protein sheets
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of water, glycerol, methyl glucoside, ZnSO 4, epichlorohydrin, and glutaric dialdehyde on the mechanical properties of soy protein plastic sheets were studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction of Microstructure and Interfacial Adhesion on Impact Performance of Polylactide (PLA) Ternary Blends
TL;DR: In this paper, the phase morphology of the resulting ternary blends and its relationship with impact behaviors were studied systematically, and an optimum range of particle sizes of the dispersed domains for high impact toughness was identified.
