In order to develop environmentally friendly conductive polymer composites, polylactic acid (PLA) plasticized with polyethylene glycol (PEG), was compounded with carbon black (CB). It was confirmed that PEG efficiently plasticized the PLA, marked by the decrease in glass transition point of PLA, as...
