Reactive compatibilization of biodegradable PLA/TPU blends via hybrid nanoparticle

Progress in Rubber, Plastics and Recycling Technology, 2021
In this study, the compatibilization effects of triglycidylisobutyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (TEpPOSS) on biodegradable poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) blends were investigated. All blends were prepared via melt blending and PLA/TPU (80/20, 70/30, 50/50 wt%) ratio was selected as the experimental parameter.
