Toughening polylactide using epoxy-functionalized core-shell starch nanoparticles

Polylactide (PLA) is one of the most attractive biodegradable polymers owing to advantages such as high mechanical properties, biocompatibility and renewable raw material. However, wide applications of PLA are hindered by its inherent brittleness. In this work, glycidyl methacrylate (GMA)-functional...
