(A) Tensile stress–strain curves of neat PLA and PLA/EBA-GMA/EMAA-Zn (80/15/5, w/w) ternary blends under speed of extension of 2 inch/min (solid line) and 0.2 inch/min (dash line), respectively. (B) Effects of degree of neutralization and functionality of ionomers on the IS of PLA/EBA-GMA/EMAA-Zn (or EMAA-H) (80/15/5, w/w) blends [Reprinted from Song et al.
