Abstract
Solid-state milling is a promising ecologically friendly method for fabricating polymeric blend and composite powder raw materials for several subsequent manufacturing processes. Biodegradable polymers, blends, and composites are expected to find extensive use by industry due to their environmental friendliness and acceptable mechanical and thermal properties for several applications. Poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL), poly-ethylene-oxide (PEO), and their blends have attracted so much attention to replace commodity polymers in future applications. Therefore, in the current research, bulk compounding of PCL-PEO blends with various compositions using solid-state cryomilling was investigated. Structural, mechanical, thermal, and hydrophilicity properties were examined on samples obtained by compression molding to explore the capabilities of the milling process for various applications. Morphology of the blends was explored by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which showed a clear phase separation in blends after heating. Dispersed as well as co-continuous morphologies were achieved by varying composition. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) of the blends indicated insignificant amorphization by milling. Tensile strength, modulus, and percentage elongation at break of the blends demonstrated significant variations due to processing parameters.

Abstract
Poly (lactic acid) or polylactide (PLA) is a commercial biobased, biodegradable, biocompatible, compostable and non-toxic polymer that has competitive material and processing costs and desirable mechanical properties. Thereby, it can be considered favorably for biomedical applications and as the most promising substitute for petroleum-based polymers in a wide range of commodity and engineering applications. However, PLA has some significant shortcomings such as low melt strength, slow crystallization rate, poor processability, high brittleness, low toughness, and low service temperature, which limit its applications. To overcome these limitations, blending PLA with other polymers is an inexpensive approach that could also tailor the final properties of PLA-based products. During the last two decades, researchers investigated the synthesis, processing, properties, and development of various PLA-based blend systems including miscible blends of poly l-lactide (PLLA) and poly d-lactide (PDLA), which generate stereocomplex crystals, binary immiscible/miscible blends of PLA with other thermoplastics, multifunctional ternary blends using a third polymer or fillers such as nanoparticles, as well as PLA-based blend foam systems. This article reviews all these investigations and compares the syntheses/processing-morphology-properties interrelationships in PLA-based blends developed so far for various applications.

Abstract
This study examines the unique morphology and properties of enhanced poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) monoliths having a bacterial cellulose (BC) framework. Open-porous BC/PLLA monoliths were successfully prepared using thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) and a freeze-drying technique. The BC/PLLA monoliths exhibited a unique ivy-like structure composed of leaf-like PLLA units and a BC fiber network. We demonstrated for the first time that the interpenetrating BC fiber gives PLLA monoliths four times higher compressive strength than the pristine PLLA. Scanning electron microscopy observation and the N2 adsorption test revealed that the size of PLLA units and the surface area of the monoliths can be manipulated by varying the starting PLLA concentration during the TIPS process. Moreover, the hydrophilicity of the PLLA monoliths was easily controlled by incorporating BC; the neat PLLA monoliths showed a high static water contact angle of as high as 128.8 ± 1.1°, whereas the BC/PLLA monoliths exhibited a much lower contact angle (102.1 ± 1.7°) and greater absorbability to water.
