The effect of blending ratio on mechanical properties of polylactic acid (PLA)/ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA)

The objective of the study is to improve the mechanical properties of Polylactic acid (PLA)/Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA) blend. The blend was prepared via twin screw extruder and compression molding with different composition. The effect of different blend ratio on the mechanical properties was inve...
