• Starch-based completely biodegradable polymer materials (2009, background): “Moreover, PLA is a much more expensive material than the common industrial polymers [22].”
• Polymer blends and composites from renewable resources (2006, background): “Jun [89] reported reactive blends of starch/PLA with a reactive agent during the extrusion process.”
• New emerging trends in synthetic biodegradable polymers – Polylactide: A critique (2007, methodology): “Compatible blends of PLA starch upto 50% can also be obtained by reactive blending; using 1% reactive agent results in blend with 1000–1400 N/cm(2) of tensile strength and about 40–80% elongation [169].”
