Abstract: The aim of this research was to increase the compatibility between PLA and starch with vegetable oil-based additives. Based on tensile results, it can be stated, that Charpy impact strength could be improved for 70/30 and 60/40 blends in both unconditioned and conditioned cases, regardless of vegetable oil, while no advantageous change in impact strength was obtained with PLA-g-MA. Considering sample with the highest starch concentration (50%), the flexural modulus was improved by using sunflower oil-based additive, Charpy impact strength and elongation at break was increased using rapeseed oil-based additive in both conditioned and unconditioned cases. SEM images confirmed the improvement of compatibility between components.

1. Introduction
The main challenges of the growing demand for petroleum-derived plastics are their long degradation periods, health risks, price volatility, waste disposal problems, and increasing demand for raw materials [1,2]. As a consequence, the development of biodegradable polymers from renewable sources has become increasingly conspicuous in recent years [2,3]. Biodegradable polymers can be converted to carbon dioxide, water, methane, and other products [4]. Many biodegradable polymers are known nowadays, such as polylactic acid (PLA), polycaprolactone (PCL), polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT), polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), and poly(hydroxyalkanoates) (PHA). Starch, known as a natural raw material, is also considered a promising alternative to biopolymers or their constituents [4].
Starch-containing polymers can be divided into four types: thermoplastic starch (TPS), starch/synthetic aliphatic polyester, starch/PBS or PBSA polyester, starch/PVOH [2]. Starch/biodegradable polymer blends are considered an auspicious method to improve the mechanical and thermal properties of native starch. Furthermore, due to their hydrophilic nature, the quality of starch-based blends also depend largely on their moisture content as well [4,5]. Blending the economically viable starch with PLA offers an attractive alternative. PLA generally has good mechanical properties, its strength and stiffness being comparable to, among others, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polystyrene (PS). However, its disadvantages include its fragility, its relatively slow rate of degradation in soil, and its higher production costs compared to petroleum-based polymers. By blending of PLA and starch, the good mechanical properties of PLA and the good biodegradability and low manufacturing cost of starch can be combined [6?8].
Most PLA-based plastic blends and composites show partial or complete incompatibility [9]. Hydrophobic PLA and hydrophilic starch are not thermodynamically miscible with each other resulting phase separation and weak interfacial adhesion in their blends. The lack of compatibility gives disadvantageous mechanical properties [7]. Thus, ensuring the compatibility of starch and PLA is essential to improve the mechanical properties [4,5].

During compatibilization, the agents are located at the interface reducing the interfacial tension and preventing the coalescence of the dispersed phase, improving the interfacial adhesion, and creating a thermodynamically stable structure [10]. There are basically four general methods for compatibilization: using copolymers, reactive compatibilization, using nanoparticles, and "radical" processing [10?12]. PLA-g-MA is a potential compatibilizer for PLA-based blends. In PLA/starch systems, interfacial adhesion can be improved by reducing the size of dispersed phase [13]. Another option is to use of bio-based agents. Vegetable oils provide a remarkable alternative instead of petroleum-derived additives with the result that their application is becoming more widespread [9,14]. Some fatty acids allow different chemical modifications due to their single or multiple unsaturation [14]. Modified vegetable oils can behave as a compatibilising agent in binary and ternary blends [9]. Now, epoxidized, MA-modified, and acrylated-epoxidized vegetable oils are known for industrial application [14].
The main motivation of this research is to focus on the production and application of additives based on vegetable oil (sunflower oil, rapeseed oil and castor oil) suitable for improving the miscibility properties of PLA/starch blends. The primary purpose was to produce a masterbatch with compatibilizing nature improving the mechanical properties of PLA/starch blends with different composition.
2. Materials and Methods 2.1. Materials
In this work corn starch (supplied by HungranaBioeconomy Company (Szabadegyh?za, Hungary) was blended into commercial grade PLA (IngeoTM Biopolymer 4043D, Minnetonka, MN, USA) as matrix material. To achieve better interfacial properties of the PLA/starch blends, experimentally synthetized vegetable oil-based additives were tested. Three different types of technical grade vegetable oil (sunflower oil (Mw = 880 g/mol, Bunge PLC, Budapest, Hungary), rapeseed oil (Mw = 888 g/mol, Bunge PLC, Budapest, Hungary) and castor oil (Mw = 933 g/mol, Alfa Aeser, Haverhill, MA, USA) were used for additive synthesis.
2.2. Additive Synthesis
Vegetable oil-based additives were synthesized at the Department of MOL Hydrocarbon and Coal Processing, University of Pannonia. The synthesis of vegetable oil-based additives was carried out in a round-bottom flask equipped with a stirrer at temperature range of 130?150 C in the presence of a hydrocarbon solvent. Stirring speed was set to be 120 rpm. The experiment was performed with three different types of vegetable oils: sunflower oil, rapeseed oil and castor oil. The molar ratio of vegetable oil to maleic anhydride was 1:1. Because of the radical initiated reactions, di-tert-butyl peroxide (supply from Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany) was used. The volatiles and solvent were evaporated under vacuum at the end of reaction.
2.3. Sample Preparation
The additives prepared by the before mentioned method were tested in PLA/starch composites in the form of a masterbatch. Masterbatches containing the synthetized compatibilizer additives were produced by a two-roll mill (LabTech Engineering Ltd., LRM-100, Praksa, Muang, Samutprakarn 10280, Thailand) at temperature range of 150?165 C using a friction ratio of 32.8:19.3. The matrix material of the masterbatches was PLA. Figure 1 shows the main steps of the sample preparation. The starch content of blends was between 10%?50%. Before processing, all of the polymers were conditioned at 80 C for four hours to prevent hydrolytic degradation. After homogenization of PLA, starch and masterbatch by a two-roll mill, PLA/starch sheets with size of 170 mm ? 170 mm ? 2 mm were formed by a laboratory hot press (CARVER 3853-0, Carver, Inc., Savannah, GA, USA) at 170 C for ten minutes. Then 10 mm wide and 50 mm long specimens were cut out from the sheets.
