Blends of entirely bio-sourced polymers, namely polylactide (PLA) and starch, have been melt-compounded by lab-scale co-extruder with epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) as a reactive compatibilizer. The starch granules were grafted with the maleic anhydride (MA) to enhance its reactivity with ESO. The ready reactions between the epoxy groups on ESO, the MA groups on MA-grafted starch (MGST) and the end carboxylic acid groups of PLA brought blending components together and formed a compatible compound. An elongation at break (EB) of 140% was obtained in the blend of PLA/MGST/ESO (80/10/10), increased from 5% of a pure PLA. The grafting content of the MA on the starch granules primarily determined the compatibility and properties of the ternary blends, which was also affected by the relative amount of MGST and ESO.
