Compatibilized polylactide/poly(pentamethylene furanoate) blends for fully bioderived packaging films with enhanced fracture toughness and UV- and O2-barrier properties

Polylactide (PLA) is a promising biopolymer from renewable resources but its brittleness and poor gas barrier properties limit flexible packaging applications. Therefore, in this work PLA was blended with a biobased rubbery poly(pentamethylene furanoate) (PPeF), acting as a toughening agent, and a c...
