Abstract
⺠The thermoplastic starch/poly(lactic acid) (TPS/PLA) blends were prepared by PLA blending with glycerol plasticized-starch. ⺠The isothermal crystallization kinetics of neat PLA and TPS/PLA composites was studied by DSC. ⺠TPS acts as a nucleating agent, improving the crystallinity of the PLA in composites. ⺠Because of the presence of TPS, there exist constraints on the mobility of the PLA chains in the composite melt.
