In this study, PLA/PEG blends were prepared using solvent (chloroform) casting methods. PEG was incorporated with increments of 5 wt.% up to 30 wt.% into PLA. Multiple test methods were used to characterize the thermal and structural properties of these blends; Differential Scanning Calorimeter (D...
