## Abstract **Summary:** Acetyl triethyl citrate (ATC) was used as a plasticizer for poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/starch blends coupled with maleic anhydride and an initiator of 2,5‐bis(__tert__‐butylperoxy)‐2,5‐dimethylhexane (L101). Elongation of the blend at break was markedly increased when the ATC
## Abstract Low density polyethylene (LDPE) was reacted with benzoyl peroxide (BPO) and 2,2,6,6‐tetramethyl‐l‐piperidinyloxy (TEMPO) to prepare a latent macroinitiator, PE–TEMPO. Little polymer was synthesized when maleic anhydride (MAH) was bulk polymerized in the presence of the PE–TEMPO. However
## 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
