TLDR
In this paper, the authors showed that the outstanding toughness and aging resistance of the 4 component alloy, i.e., PLA/PC/SEBS/EGMA = 40/40/5/5 (wt. ratio), seems to come from the negative pressure effect of SEBS that dilates the plastic matrix consisting of PLA and polycarbonate to enhance the local segment motions.About:
