Biopolymer toughening with chain extenders

Polylactic acid (PLA) is one of the most popular biodegradable polymers today. However, it has its drawbacks, such as poor melt strength and narrow processing window. In this study, PLA 2003D was compounded with chain extenders (CE) at weight percentages of 0.2%, 0.5%, 0.75% and 1.0%, using two co-r...
