## Abstract The thermal and mechanical properties of the biodegradable blends of poly(Lβlactic acid) (PLLA) and lignin prepared by manual mixing have been investigated. Both the results of DSC and FTIR spectral analyses indicated the existence of intermolecular interaction between PLLA and lignin.
In the present article a series of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) blends with different amounts of fatty esters of amylose and starch, were prepared in a Haake-Buchler Reomixer. The tensile as well as the dynamic thermomechanical (DMTA) properties of the blends were measured. It was found that as t
