Toughened commercial poly( l -lactide) (PLLA) using degradable and recyclable poly(ester- alt -ether)- b -PLLA

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Properties of bio-derived poly( l -lactide) are improved by block polymer additives which deliver efficient chemical recycling and enzymatic hydrolysis. Blends compete with poly(acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) and high impact polystyrene.
