Compatibilization of water-soluble polyurethane/poly(lactic acid) blends upon addition of surface-modified CaCO3

Effect of CaCO3 and compatibilizer SMA-2025 on the property of CaCO3/PLA/PBAT shape memory composites

“…CaCO 3 is one of the most common fillers, inexpensive and widely used in plastics, rubber and polymer composites. The CaCO 3 particles are also applied to improve the mechanical property (Ma et al , 2022; Zhao et al , 2022a, 2022b), water-soluble property (Zhao et al , 2021; Wondu et al , 2021), thermal stability (Gbadeyan et al , 2022; Nekhamanurak et al , 2022), degradability (Wang et al , 2019; Pavon et al , 2022), application (Helanto et al , 2021; Nayunigari et al , 2014) and reduce the cost (Kong et al , 2021) of the biodegradable polymer materials. Moreover, generally, the price of PLA or PBAT is 15 times higher than that of CaCO 3 .…”
