Toughened commercial poly(<scp>l</scp>-lactide) (PLLA) using degradable and recyclable poly(ester-<i>alt</i>-ether)-<i>b</i>-PLLA
Properties of bio-derived poly( l -lactide) are improved by block polymer additives which deliver efficient chemical recycling and enzymatic hydrolysis. Blends compete with poly(acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) and high impact polystyrene.
