Additionally, a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed to identify the thermal stability of PLA samples using the Thermogravimetric analyzer Q50 from TA instruments Inc. (USA). Approximately 15 mg of polymer were heated from 30 to 430 °C at 10 °C/min, under N2 flow at 10 mL/min. A temperature of 5% wt. mass loss (Tloss5%) was determined.
