Polylactic acid (PLA) is one of the highly applicable bio-polymers in a wide variety of applications including medical fields and packaging. In order to quantitatively model the mechanical behavior of PLA and PLA based bio-composite materials, and also tailor new bio-composites, it is required to ch...
