Esterification of Condensed Tannins and Their Impact on the Properties of Poly(Lactic Acid)
Reported is a study evaluating the potential of esterified tannins as plastic additives in poly(lactic acid) (PLA). Tannin esterification using anhydrides was investigated as a route to synthesize tannin esters possessing varying ester chain length and degree of substitution (DS). Esterification dec...
