Morphology, Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Co-Continuous Porous Structure of PLA/PVA Blends by Phase Separation

Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) was blended with poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) in the composition of 70/30 (L7V3), 60/40 (L6V4), and 50/50 (L5V5) wt.%. L7V3 exhibits a sea–island morphology, while L6V4 and L5V5 show co-continuous phase morphologies. These polymers exhibited a solitary glass transition tempera...
