New approach on the development of plasticized polylactide (PLA): Grafting of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) via reactive extrusion

► Development of new way of plasticizing PLA with PEG via reactive extrusion. ► In situ reactive blending performance of anhydride-grafted PLA copolymer with PEG. ► Improvement of PLA thermal and mechanical properties in the reactive blend.
