Material Properties: Thermal and mechanical properties of chemical crosslinked polylactide (PLA)

To improve the thermal stability and mechanical properties of PLA, crosslinking was introduced via chemical treatment of the melt by adding small amounts of crosslinking agent triallyl isocyanurate (TAIC) and dicumyl peroxide (DCP). A series of crosslinked PLA materials with different gel fraction a...
