• Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Wood Flour/Talc-filled Polylactic Acid Composites: Effect of Filler Content and Coupling Treatment (2008, background): “In general, polymers from renewable resources can be categorized into natural polymers such as starch [4–6], protein and cellulose [7–9], and synthetic polymers [10–12].”
• Properties of Starch Blends with Biodegradable Polymers (2003, background): “For the simple blends of starch and PLA, no significant change in Tg was observed.([93]) The tensile strength and elongation of the blends decreased as the starch content increased.”
• Characterisation of solution cast cellulose nanofibre - reinforced poly(lactic acid) (2010, methodology): “The degree of crystallinity of the PLA in the composites was evaluated by the percent crystallinity of PLA in the composites, Xc, which can be calculated by Equation (2) [15]: (2)”
• Biodegradation of starch/polylactic acid/poly(hydroxyester-ether) composite bars in soil (2003, background): “Previous studies have shown that starch/PLA composites have rather poor mechanical properties due to poor adhesion of starch and PLA [7,8].”
• Barrier and Mechanical Properties of Starch-Clay Nanocomposite Films (2008, background): “…like poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH) and polylactide (PLA) to produce materials with properties intermediate to the two components (Chen et al 1996; Ke and Sun 2000), resultant blends can be better processed by extrusion or film blowing and have mechanical and barrier properties superior to those…”
• Advances in Edible Coatings for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables: A Review (2013, background): “These polymers either alone or in combination with synthetic plastics or starch (Ke and Sun, 2000) produce excellent packaging films.”
