New dispersible and low-melting cellulose ester produced with molten adipic acid as a solvent, reagent and catalyst, and its application to improve the mechanical properties of PLA
This work describes the synthesis and characterization of a novel cellulose ester (CE) derived from microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and adipic acid. The CE was used as an additive to improve the mechanical properties of PLA.
