- <abstract abstract-type="graphical"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Front Cover:</bold> Polylactide (PLA) is a bio‐based biodegradable thermoplastic polyester. PLA shows good strength and stiffness, optical and physical properties, and is expected to be a sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum‐based plastics. However, its low toughness, impact and melt strength, and thermal stability during processing limit its wide range of applications. Here, PLA is melt‐blended with highly ductile, biodegradable poly(ϵ‐caprolactone) (PCL) in the presence of boehmite (BAI) nanoparticles to mitigate the disadvantages of PLA.
