Both polypropylene (PP) and polyamide (PA) are widely used polymeric materials, but both have their own advantages and disadvantages that limit the scope of use. In recent years, blends of PP and PA have attracted attention because they can combine the advantages of both and eliminate their disadvantages, and the key to achieving these goals lies in solving the compatibility of PP with PA.

Polylactic acid (PLA) is blended with native starch or thermo plasticized starch (TPS) for preparing biodegradable composites. However, poor compatibility of PLA with starch results in the composites with inferior mechanical properties. This study examines the effect of Maleic Anhydride-Grafted-PLA (GMAPLA) coupling agent and its concentration on the extent of improvements in mechanical and thermal properties of PLA –TPS blends.

In previous research, a polylactic chitin starch composite was prepared without the use of a solvent to enhance the miscibility. In this study, a polylactic acid (PLA) chitin starch composite was produced with chloroform as a plasticizer in the ratio 1:10. The blending of chitin and starch with PLA ranges from 2% to 8%. Tensile strength, impact, thermogravimetry analysis-Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (TGA)-FTIR, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to test the thermomechanical properties.

Polypropylene (PP) is one of the most versatile polymers, which is widely used in many fields such as automobile, electronics, packaging, building materials and fiber because of its low cost, high thermal stability, stable chemical properties and good water insolubility. However, PP is a non-polar polymer with low compatibility with other polar materials, and improving its compatibility with other plastics has become a hot spot for current research.
