Abstract

Tri-(1, 4-butanediol single-butyrate) citrate (TBBC) was synthesized as a new plasticizer for PLA. The chemical structure of TBBC was characterized by FT-IR. PLA was plasticized with various amount of TBBC. The effects of both temperature and shear rate on the rheologies of PLA/TBBC blends were evaluated by a parallel plate rheometer.
