Improvement of Poly(lactide) Ductile Properties by Plasticization with Biobased Tartaric Acid Ester

Abstract Diethyl l‐tartrate (DET) is used as a biobased plasticizer for poly(lactide) (PLA) formulations with improved ductile properties without compromising biodegradation. Different weight percentages (wt.%) of DET in the 0–50 wt.% range are added to PLA by melt compounding and subsequently proce...
