Abstract
In this study, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) was blended with Polylactic acid (PLA) in order to enhance the mechanical properties of PLA. PLA/EVA blend was melt blended in a twin screw extruder and compression molding with various EVA content (0-20% by weight) and the tensile and morphological properties were examined. The morphological behaviours play an important role in influencing the tensile properties of PLA. The smaller discrete EVA particle in PLA matrix had increased the properties of PLA compared with the one with elongated morphology.
