Chitin-nanofibrils are obtained in water suspension at low concentration, as nanoparticles normally are, to avoid their aggregation. The addition of the fibrils in molten PLA during extrusion is thus difficult and disadvantageous. In the present paper, the use of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) is proposed to prepare a solid pre-composite by water evaporation. The pre-composite is then added to PLA in the extruder to obtain transparent nanocomposites. The amount of PEG and chitin nanofibrils was varied in the nanocomposites to compare the reinforcement due to nanofibrils and plasticization due to the presence of PEG, as well as for extrapolating, where possible, the properties of reinforcement due to chitin nanofibrils exclusively. Thermal and morphological properties of nanocomposites were also investigated. This study concluded that chitin nanofibrils, added as reinforcing filler up to 12% by weight, do not alter the properties of the PLA based material; hence, this additive can be used in bioplastic items mainly exploiting its intrinsic anti-microbial and skin regenerating properties.

Blends of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) with various contents (0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 weight %) and with different molecular weights (M¯w = 1000, 4000 and 6000 g/mol), called respectively PEG1, PEG2, and PEG3 were prepared by melt blending. Since glass transition temperature (Tg), T? and loss factor (tan ?) are relevant indicators of polymer chain mobility, plasticization has been studied by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Low molecular weight (LMW) PEG enable increased miscibility with PLA and more efficient reduction of glass transition temperature (Tg) for concentrations of PEG less than 20%. This effect is not only enhanced by the LMW but also by increasing its content up to 20%. As expected, both T? and Tg decrease when increasing PEG molar mass and content up to 20%, which demonstrates the effectiveness of PEG to act as a plasticizer of PLA.

Balanced mechanical properties are always the goal of high-performance general plastics for engineering purposes. In order to develop uniformly dispersed graphene oxide/poly(L-lactic acid) nanocomposites with balanced mechanical properties, a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) grafted graphene oxide was introduced into poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) matrix. The PEG grafted graphene oxide (GEG) was confirmed by the results of fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Then the mechanical properties of the nanohybrids were measured. The results showed that in contrast to the aggregation of GO, GEG could uniformly disperse in PLLA matrix. An intriguing phenomenon is that thanks to the strong interfacial interaction between GEG and PLLA, it exhibits a substantial enhancement of the elongation at break (EB) as well as a simultaneous improvement of the tensile strength (TS), while the addition of GO decreases the EB of PLLA matrix. This work provides a potential industrialized technique for high-performance PLLA nanocomposites
