Mechanical and thermophysical properties of biodegradable polylactide compositions with ethyl cellulose and chitosan containing poly(ethylene glycol)

The compositions of chitosan and ethyl cellulose with polylactide were obtained by the blending of components under shear deformation conditions in a Brabender mixer, and the influence of low-molecular-weight poly(ethylene glycol) on the mechanical and thermophysical properties of the blends was estimated.
