The Viscosity Effect of Masticated Natural vs. Synthetic Isoprene Rubber on Toughening of Polylactic Acid

This study investigated the different viscosity effects of natural isoprene rubber (NR) compared to the synthetic one (IR) on toughening of polylactic acid (PLA). Here, 15 wt% rubber was melt blended with PLA in an internal mixer at 180°C and 50 rpm. It was found that the addition of these rubbers l...
