The Research of EVA to PLA/E-AA-GMA Blend Materials Toughening

Article Preview

Abstract:

The toughening modification of PLA(polylactic acid) and PLA/ethylene-maleic anhydride-methylacrylic acid glycerid shrink commonly terpolymer (E-AA-GMA) with different proportions of EVA was studied in the paper.We tested the breaking elongation rate and impact strength of the modified materials. The results showed that EVA had toughening role for PLA , and the toughening present a trend of improving slowly along with EVA increased. The EVA's toughening effect was more apparent when PLA with the compatibilizer (E-AA-GMA).The results of SEM analysis showed that the compatibility of blend material with the compatibilizer was better than the one without.
