In order to enhance the miscibility between TPS and PBS, reactive PBS (RPBS)with terminal NCO group was synthesized first and then blended with TPS. The mechanical properties of the TPS were greatly improved after blending with RPBS, the tensile strength was increased to 10 times more than TPS even only 10 wt UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VQXURXJXywvIH61U4VzdVPhWRdBNepk2/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
