Polylactic acid (PLA) is a popular material because it is made from renewable resources and is relatively inexpensive to produce. However, PLA is brittle and has low elasticity, which limits its use in some applications. In this webinar, we will discuss how bio-based CITROFOL® citrate esters can improve the mechanical, thermal, and rheological properties of different types of PLA. We will also compare CITROFOL® citrate esters to PEG 1000, a common plasticizer for PLA.
