Bioproducts of oil industry as toughening agents of Polylactide
Résumé
Polylactide (PLA) which is already available in large commercial quantities shows a good potential as
biobased and biodegradable polymer in several sectors. Nevertheless its low ductility narrows its usage
potential needed to manufacture efficient thermoplastic films for food packaging. External plasticization
is the main solution employed trying to enhance the elongation at break of PLA (1) Impact modifiers can
be an alternative in order to reduce the brittleness while preserving the PLA stiffness and thermal
characteristics (2). However both approaches using mainly oil-based additives reduce the biobased carbon
content of the formulated material. Consequently, developing a biobased and biodegradable additive
suitable for food contact material, with a low cost and a stable sourcing, could constitute a very attractive
product for the industrial development of PLA food packaging. (...)
