Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Toughened Poly(L-lactic) Acid and Lignin Blends

Fully degradable poly(L-lactic) acid (PLLA) and lignin blends were prepared using the melt blending method. The impact strength of PLLA was dramatically improved by 52.4% and 36.6% with the addition of 5 wt% and 10 wt% of lignin, respectively. Meanwhile, the Young’s modulus was maintained. Polarized...
