Both the effect of catalyst Received in revised form concentration and reaction duration was considered. The process was studied by analyzing the molecular 11 January 2011 weight of the polyesters by size exclusion chromatography (SEC). The rheological, thermal and Accepted 28 January 2011 Available online 21 March 2011 morphological properties of the blends were investigated by melt flow rate, DSC and SEM analyses, respectively. Evidences about the formation of PBAT-PLA copolymers were obtained and discussed. The
