• Progress in Toughening Poly(Lactic Acid) with Renewable Polymers (2017, methodology): “In contrast, physical blending with plasticizers or flexible polymers represents an efficient and cost-effective way to improve toughness of PLA.(16,21,27) Therefore, many plasticizers and flexible polymers have been widely used to blend with PLA for toughening.”
• Bio-Based Coatings for Paper Applications (2015, background): “As such, native thermoplastic biopolymers such as PHB and PLA have hardly been applied on industrial scale, but can only be used after some modifications in the biopolymer bulk to improve their processing [15,16].”
• Nanocomposites of halloysite and polylactide (2013, background): “It was widely used in biomedical and degradable plastic areas (Rasal et al., 2010).”
• Environmental friendly food nano-packaging (2017, background): “Although polylactic acid is an eco-friendly bioplastic with good biocompatibility, poor hardiness, slow degradation, hydrophobicity and lack of reactive side-chain groups limit its application (Rasal et al. 2010).”
• Properties and medical applications of polylactic acid: A review (2015, background): “Although the tensile strength and Young’s modulus (good stiffness) of PLA were comparable to PET, the poor toughness limited its use in applications requiring plastic deformation at higher stress levels, which has motivated the considerable interest toward the toughening of PLA over last five years ”
• Surface Modification of 3D Printed PLA Objects by Fused Deposition Modeling: A Review (2019, background): “It is expected that low energy requirements will also decrease the future cost of PLA [23].”
