摘要:
The development of bio-based film formulations that show mechanical properties comparable to current fossil films is a challenging technological goal. Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is the most attractive bio-based polymer; however, its poor ductility limits its use for film application. To overcome this issue, in this work PLA was blended with a ductile poly(butylene succinate-co-adipate) (PBSA) bio-based polymer, and cast extruded PLA/PBSA films were produced with differing PBSA amounts (20, 30 and 40 wt%). The mechanical properties of the film were eval-uated both in machine and cross direction. The tearing resistance of the produced film was implemented with the essential work of fracture approach to explore the mode III out-of-plane fracture resistance.
