Role of lubricant with a plasticizer to change the glass transition temperature as a result improving the mechanical properties of poly(lactic acid) PLLA

Poly (lactic acid) (PLLA) is the best important bioplastics derived from renewable resources like blackstrap molasses (sugar beet, date palm and sugar cane). PLLA is brittle and has a low elongation at break, which hinders its applications in the industry. One method to solve this problem is to impr...
