Dynamic mechanical behaviour of Poly Ethylene Glycol Plasticized Polylacticacid

Polylacticacid (PLA), produced from annually renewable, natural resources is a potential candidate for the partial replacement of petroleum based polymers and also for its biodegradability. PLA is well known for its better mechanical, thermal property but unfortunately the brittleness and rigidity l...
