Toughening poly (lactic acid) and aiding the melt-compounding with bio-sourced plasticizers

The capability of bio-sourced plasticizers epoxidized palm oil (EPO) and epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) in toughening and aiding the melt-processing of PLA were investigated. At various loadings, they were melt-compounded with PLA and hot pressed into 3-mm sheets for impact strength testing. From the...
