Multiphase Polylactide Blends: Toward a Sustainable and Green
Environment guides the reader through fundamentals, science,
preparation, and key areas of innovation in polylactide (PLA)
blends. Bio-based polymers, and notably PLA, have not only gained
increasing interest as a more sustainable alternative but also
bring challenges in terms of mechanical, rheological, thermal and
physical properties, processability, shapability, and foamability.
The use of blends looks to address these, with the development of
new types of economically viable and environmentally friendly
systems. This is a valuable book for academic researchers,
scientists, and graduate students across bio-based polymers,
polymer science, chemistry, and materials science, as well as
engineers, R&D professionals, and all those in industry with
interest in PLA-based blends, biopolymers, and sustainable
materials and products. More specifically, the first three chapters
of this book overview the fundamentals of thermoplastic polymers,
polymer blends, and structure and properties of PLA. These chapters
could technically be used as a valuable textbook on the noted
topics. The rest of the chapters inclusively study the
fundamentals, investigations, and achievements in PLA-based blends
with various types of polymers. These include miscible blends of
poly L-lactide and poly D-lactide, binary immiscible/miscible
blends of PLA with other thermoplastics and elastomers, PLA-based
ternary blends and blend nanocomposites, as well as PLA-based blend
foams. Overall, this book provides a thorough and critical overview
of the state of the art in PLA-based blends, including significant
past and recent advances, with the aim of supporting and shaping
further research and industrial application of these materials for
the development of a green and sustainable future.
