The interactions between soluble collagen (C) from calf skin and poly-(acrylic acid) (PAA) were studied. Mixing aqueous solutions of collagen and PAA, at various pH values (2.5-4), leads to the formation of complexes that precipitate in the form of insoluble aggregates. The effects of mixture compos
## Abstract Various polylactic acid (PLA)/cornstarch blends, with and without the compatibilizer methylenediphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), were prepared by melt processing using a twinβscrew extruder. In the blends where it was included, MDI was distributed in either the PLA or starch phase through con
