Abstract :
Poly(L-lactide)(PLLA) and a given amount of tributirin(TB) were cast-blended with chloroform. We investigate the effects of the TB on the structure of the blends and the fracture behavior of the blends under load and hydrolysis conditions. From these investigations, it is found that the addition of TB enhances crystallization and increases the fracture resistance.
