The purpose of this PhD thesis was to investigate the sensitivity of the rheological, thermal, mechanical and fracture behaviours on the topological changes induced in two commercial PLA grades. PLA 2002D and PLA 4032D (NatureWorks, Belgium) with a D-lactide content of 4.25 and 2 %, respectively, were reactively modified in the melt with predetermined concentrations of a multi-functional epoxide agent. In a preliminary study, the evolution of the coupling reactions was followed by monitoring the torque versus time in an internal mixer device. Once all parameters were optimized, reactive extrusion was performed in a co-rotating twin screw extruder with a screw diameter of 25 mm (L/D=36). The main emphasize of this work was on the production ...
