Super toughed poly (lactic acid)/poly (ethylene vinyl acetate) blends compatibilized by ethylene-methyl acrylate-glycidyl methacrylate copolymer

Poly (lactic acid) (PLA), as a biodegradable and biocompatible polymer, has attracted extensive attention and investigation in recent years. However, the inherent brittleness of PLA greatly limits its application. In this work, super toughed PLA-based blends were prepared by facile melt blending of PLA with poly (ethylene vinyl acetate) (EVA) and compatibilized by ethylene-methyl acylate-glycidyl methacrylate (E-MA-GMA), owing to the partial...
