Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 307, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022 Dibutyl itaconate (DBI) is tested as an environmentally friendly plasticizer for polylactide (PLA) with different proportions of DBI in the 2.5‐20 wt.% range. A co‐rotating twin‐screw extrusion process and injection moulding is employed for the manufacturing of the samples. As a result, noticeable increase in the elongation at break from 4.6% (neat PLA)
