Improved Toughness of Polylactide by Binary Blends with Polycarbonate with Glycidyl and Maleic Anhydride‐Based Compatibilizers

This work reports on the development of polylactide (PLA) and polycarbonate (PC) blends with different compatibilizers with enhanced toughness. Since both polymers are immiscible, two types of compatibilizers are tested: petrochemical‐based copolymers Xibond 160 and Xibond 920 with maleic anhydride and epoxy groups, respectively, and natural‐based compatibilizers with the same functionalities, namely maleinized linseed oil (MLO) and, epoxidized...
