Studies were conducted on the morphology of poly(ethylene glycol)/poly(lactic acid) (PEG/PLA) blends. Mixtures comprising PLA and PEG chains of different molecular weights (1500, 3400, 6000 and 35,000) were prepared; their structures were investigated by DSC studies and i.r. spectroscopy. The result
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) were melt-blended and extruded into films in the PLA/PEG ratios of 100/0, 90/10, 70/30, 50/50, and 30/ 70. It was concluded from the differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical analysis results that PLA/PEG blends range from miscib
