Abstract

Polylactic acid blends having a relatively high heat distortion temperature can be prepared by simple blending of PLA polymers of opposite stereoforms, followed by processing, e.g. by injection moulding, under specific conditions of temperature and pressure, so as to produce a blend which, on differential scanning calorimetry, exhibits two peaks within the melting range of the stereocomplex. Moreover, by careful selection of these conditions of temperature and pressure, it is possible to use PLA polymers of significantly higher molecular weights than previously thought possible.

Abstract

A blend of a multiply branched lactic acid polymer of one steric configuration with a linear lactic acid polymer of the opposite steric configuration has different and more useful properties than either component alone.

• C08L 67/04 - Polyesters derived from hydroxy carboxylic acids, e.g. lactones

Abstract

The incorporation of units derived from isosorbide and from a polycarboxylic acid or anhydride thereof in a lactic acid polymer can result in a polymer having a higher glass transition temperature than would otherwise be achieved.

Abstract

The present invention describes a polyhydroxycarboxylic acid having bimodal or multimodal molar mass distribution, a process for the preparation thereof, the use of an aromatic diol having a single benzene ring for the preparation of polyhydroxycarboxylic acid, in particular polyhydroxycarboxylic acid having bimodal or multimodal molar mass distribution, as well as a method of preparing injection- molded goods or blown film, polymer blends, composite materials or nanocomposite materials using said polyhydroxycarboxylic acid.

Abstract

A method for manufacturing plasticised gluten compositions for pet food and pet treat applications, the method comprising the steps of : mixing at least gluten and a plasticiser wherein the mixing equipment is set to a value below 500C and the SME (Specific Mechanical Energy) applied to the mix is less than 600 kj/kg, wherein the gluten content is between 20 and 85% by weight wherein the plasticiser content is less than 40% by weight. The invention also relates to the use of plasticised gluten for the manufacture of a chewy pet food having a high breaking force.

IPC Classes  ?
