Strengthening and Toughening of Polylactide/Sisal Fiber Biocomposites via in-situ Reaction with Epoxy-Functionalized Oligomer and Poly (butylene-adipate-terephthalate)

With the addition of poly (butylene-adipate-terephthalate) (PBAT) and a commercial grade epoxy-functionalized oligomer Joncryl ADR<sup>@</sup>-4368 (ADR), a blend of polylactic acid (PLA) and sisal fibers (SF) were melt-prepared via in-situ reactive process to improve the toughness and i...
