The demand for poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and PLA-based blends has been continuously increasing in new applications and products. These materials are attractive because they offer a number of additional advantages compared to conventional fossil-based plastics such as a reduced carbon footprint and low waste management problems. PLA possesses complex crystallization behaviors. … Continue reading Complex melting behaviors of poly(L‑lactic acid) and poly(butylene succinate) blends
