Micromechanical analysis and fracture mechanics of Poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/Polycaprolactone (PCL) binary blends

Even Poly(lactic acid)/polycaprolactone (PLA/PCL) blends have been studied in literature, the deformation mechanism that is related to the toughness increment with respect to pure PLA has not been investigated in detail. The novelty of this work is to understand in depth the correlation between the...
