Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="toc"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <graphic position="anchor" id="ga" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj4166tfv" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" />Lignin, a biomass, is grafted with biodegradable rubber to simultaneously toughen and strengthen poly(lactide) owing to strong matrix/filler interactions and the existence of rubber between "rigid" lignin and matrix facilitating force transfer and craze formation.</p> </abstract>
