Abstract

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was thermally blended with adipate ester (AE) to enhance the toughness of PLA. All specimens which were biodegradable materials were prepared using a plasticorder. Differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy indicated that the PLA structure was looser because of the presence of the AE additive. The elongation at break and biodegradable property increased substantially with increasing amounts of AE. The results reveal that excessive amounts of plasticizer would cause the exudation of AE from the PLA/AE composites, which was ascribed to the plasticizer migration phenomenon.
