Properties of linear poly(lactic acid)/polyethylene glycol blends
Abstract
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) has great potentials to be processed into films for packaging applications. However, film production is difficult to carry out due to the brittleness and low melt strength of PLA. In this investigation, linear PLA (L‐PLA) was plasticized with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) having MW of 1000 g mol−1 in various PEG concentrations (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 wt%). In relation to plasticizer content, the impact resistance and crystallinity of L‐PLA was increased, whereas a decrease in glass transition temperature and lower stiffness was observed. Nevertheless, the phase separation has been found in samples which contained PEG greater than 10 wt%. The dynamic and shear rheological studies showed that the plasticized PLA possessed lower viscosity and more pronounced elastic properties than that of pure PLA. Both storage and loss moduli decreased with PEG loading at all frequencies while storage modulus exhibited weak frequency dependence with increasing PEG content. POLYM. ENG.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
