Impact toughness and ductility enhancement of biodegradable poly(lactic acid)/poly(ε-caprolactone) blends via addition of glycidyl methacrylate

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) blends were prepared via melt blending technique. Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) was added as reactive compatibilizer to improve the interfacial adhesion between immiscible phases of PLA and PCL matrices. Tensile test revealed that optimum in elongatio...
