## Abstract Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and wheat starch are biodegradable polymers derived from renewable sources. A previous study showed that thermally blending starch and PLA in the presence of methylenediphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) enhanced the mechanical properties of the blends. In this work, blen
## Abstract Poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/starch blends were prepared blending with dioctyl maleate (DOM). DOM acted as a compatibilizer at low concentrations (below 5%), and markedly improved tensile strength of the blend. However, DOM functioned as a plasticizer at concentrations over 5%, significantly
Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was converted into melt flowable derivatives by complexation with a small amount of n-butyl boronic acid (BBA) and phenyl boronic acid (PBA) in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), and their thermal properties were examined from a viewpoint of the melt spinning of the complexes. It wa
