## 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
## Abstract Two oligomeric malonate esteramides and an oligomeric malonate ester were synthesized with the intention to plasticize poly(lactic acid), PLA. The synthesis was performed by reacting diethyl bishydroxymethyl malonate (DBM) with adipoyl dichloride and one of two diamines, that is, trieth
## Abstract Poly (Lβlactic acid) (PLA) is a biodegradable polymer with slow crystallization rate. Oligomers of 3βhydroxybutyrate (OHB) and dendrimers of hydroxyalkanoic acids with different molecular weights were blended with PLA in a hope to improve the crystallization ability and thermal stabilit
