A study dealing with the effect of microfibrillated
cellulose (MFC) on the thermal and mechanical properties of PLA,
demonstrated by DSC and DMA analyses that the use of MFC as
fillers could extend PLA application range for products exposed to
high temperature (Suryanegara, Nakagaito, & Yano, 2009). Moreover,
it was shown that the addition of 20 wt.% of MFC increased
the storage modulus of neat PLA from 293 MPa to 1034 MPa,
respectively
