Abstract
In this study, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and PLA/β‐tricalcium phosphate (TCP) biocomposites were developed by melt compounding using an internal melt mixer with three different TCP contents (5, 10, and 25 wt%). A comprehensive analysis of the thermal, rheological, and mechanical properties of these biocomposites was performed. TCP presented proper distribution in the PLA/TCP biocomposites: PLA5TCP and PLA10TCP exhibited rheological behavior...
