Dual Plasticizer/Thermal Stabilizer Effect of Epoxidized Chia Seed Oil (<i>Salvia hispanica</i> L.) to Improve Ductility and Thermal Properties of Poly(Lactic Acid)

Dual Plasticizer/Thermal Stabilizer Effect of Epoxidized Chia Seed Oil (<i>Salvia hispanica</i> L.) to Improve Ductility and Thermal Properties of Poly(Lactic Acid)

The use of a new bio-based plasticizer derived from epoxidized chia seed oil (ECO) was applied in a poly(lactic acid) (PLA) matrix. ECO was used due to its high epoxy content (6.7%), which led to an improved chemical interaction with PLA. Melt extrusion was used to plasticize PLA with different ECO...
