Fully bio-based and biocompostable poly (lactic acid)/poly (β-hydroxybutyrate-co-β-hydroxyvalerate) (PLA/PHBV) blends were prepared by melt compounding. PHBV with a high β-hydroxyvalerate content (40mol%) was used in this work. Miscibility between the PLA and the PHBV, phase morphology, thermal behavior, mechanical properties and toughening mechanism of the PLA/PHBV blends were investigated. The blends...
The well-known bio-based and biocompostable poly(lactic acid), PLA, suffers from brittleness and a low heat distortion temperature. In this paper, we address a possible route to make PLA tough(er) by blending with ethylene-co-vinyl acetate (EVA) with different vinyl acetate contents. The compatibility and phase morphology of the PLA/EVA blends was controlled by the ratio of vinyl acetate and ethylene...
