Effect of Radical Initiators on the Rheological Properties and Toughness of Poly(Lactic Acid)/Poly(3‐Hydroxybutyrate‐Co‐4‐Hydroxybutyrate) Blends

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
Effect of mixing protocol on the size distribution of PHA domains in the PLA matrix. ABSTRACT In this study, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐4‐hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB‐4HB), a type of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA)], were melt‐blended at an 80/20 (wt/wt) ratio, and radical initiators were employed as reactive compatibilizers to enhance

Effect of Accelerated Aging on the Performances of 3D Printed Polylactic Acid‐Polyhydroxyalkanoate Specimens

Polymer Engineering &Science, EarlyView.
The accelerated aging behaviours on the FFF‐fabricated PLA‐PHA Specimens. ABSTRACT Despite the increasing use of biodegradable polymers in additive manufacturing, their long‐term durability remains insufficiently understood. The aim of this study to investigate the influence of accelerated aging on the performance of fused filament fabrication‐printed ...

Effect of Dialkyl Peroxide Blending on Tensile Properties of PLA/PBAT Polymer Alloys

Engineering Transactions, 2014
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(butylene adipate/terephthalate) (PBAT) were used for polymer alloys, and the effects of the mixing ratio of PLA and PBAT and the addition of dialkyl peroxide (compatibilizing agent) were examined. The stress-strain curves

Polyesterase activity and thermostability of carboxylesterases from Thermoleophilum album YS‐3

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Three novel α/β‐hydrolases from thermophilic bacterium Thermoleophilum album display carboxylesterase and polyesterase activity. These enzymes hydrolyse PET, PLA and PCL both at high and moderate temperatures. TA21 shows superior activity, efficiently converting MHET to terephthalic acid. Structural features underlying substrate binding highlight their
