Phase Structure, Compatibility, and Toughness of PLA/PCL Blends: A Review

Phase Structure, Compatibility, and Toughness of PLA/PCL Blends: A Review

Results of the studies dealing with the toughness of polylactic acid/polycaprolactone (PLA/PCL) blends are analyzed with respect to the PCL particle size, PLA matrix crystallinity, and presence of a compatibilizer. It is shown that a high toughness or even “super-toughness” of PLA/PCL blends without...
