Balancing Toughness and Antibacterial Activity of Polylactide Blends with Imidazolium-Based Polymers.

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) serves as a promising alternative to nondegradable conventional plastics, owing to its biobased origin, biodegradability, mechanical strength, and optical clarity. However, its inherent brittleness restricts its broader applic…
