Properties of thermoplastic starch from cassava bagasse and cassava starch and their blends with poly (lactic acid) (2012, result): “This is consistent with earlier reports that there is some low level of interaction between PLA and TPS (Martin and Avérous, 2001).”
Biodegradable Multiphase Systems Based on Plasticized Starch: A Review (2004, methodology): “Furthermore, PLA can be plasticized using oligomeric lactic acid (OLA), citrate ester,([22]) or low molecular weight polyethylene glycol (PEG).([21,23]) Table 3 shows the evolution of some properties depending on the plasticizer content.”
Polymer blends and composites from renewable resources (2006, result): “Similar blends were also reported by Martin and Averous [79].”
Properties of Starch Blends with Biodegradable Polymers (2003, neutral): “Recently, Averous and co-workers[84] prepared thermoplastic starch as the major phase in the blends (>50%).”
