In this study, the effects of compatibilisers on morphology, mechanical and thermal properties of polylactic acid (PLA)/natural rubber (NR) blends were determined with the composition of 95/5 (designated as PLA95/NR5). The PLA95/NR5 blend was incorporated with two different compatibilisers maleated...
