Front Cover: Branching introduction represents a valuable strategy to modulate conventional linear PLA performances while preserving the chemical nature of this bio‐based polymer. In article number 2000805 by Athanassia Athanassiou and co‐workers, the blending of star‐shaped PLA with linear PLA through injection molding provides high miscibility and facilitates the melt flow during processing. These features allow the production of green products with enhanced flexibility, processability and biodegradability compared to conventional linear PLA materials.

通过挤出和注塑成型生产绿色星形/线性PLA共混物：量身定制常规PLA的流变和机械性能

封面：引入支链是调节常规线性PLA性能同时保留该生物基聚合物化学性质的重要策略。在Athanassia Athanassiou及其同事的文章2000805中，星形PLA与线性PLA通过注塑成型的共混提供了高度的可混溶性，并在加工过程中促进了熔体流动。与传统的线性PLA材料相比，这些功能使生产的绿色产品具有更高的柔韧性，可加工性和可生物降解性。
