Article Synopsis
  • The study explores improving polylactic acid (PLA) for absorbent sanitary materials by blending it with butenediol vinyl alcohol copolymer (BVOH) to enhance its properties.
  • The PLA/BVOH composites formed a two-phase structure with good adhesion, resulting in improved crystallization, thermal stability, and tensile properties, particularly at a 5 wt.% BVOH content.
  • The addition of BVOH significantly increased PLA's hydrophilicity, with the water contact angle dropping to 37.3° at 10 wt.% BVOH, indicating better absorption capability.
