## Abstract Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was blended with five plasticizers in a batchwise mixer and pressed into films. The films were analyzed by means of dynamic mechanical analysis and differential scanning calorimetry to investigate the properties of the blends. Triacetine and tributyl citrate prov
Several samples of poly(1actic acid) with different molecular weights and tacticity have been prepared, and some PLLA injection moulded specimens have been annealed to promote their crystallization. From the characterization data, poly(L-lactide) showed more interesting mechanical properties than po
## Abstract The major objective of this research was to modify the surface properties of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(hydroxyalkanoate) (PHA) films by using a sequential twoβstep photografting approach. In step 1, benzophenone was photografted on the film surface and in step 2, hydrophilic mono
