Mechanical parameters from tensile tests of the PLA-PNSP .

Sample	PNSP content (% wt.)	Tensile strength (MPa)	Elongation at break (%)	Tensile modulus (MPa)
Neat PLA	0
PNSP defatted	5
	7.5
PNSP untreated	5
	7.5

with the same letter for each treatment indicate that there is no significant difference () between the samples according to Tukey-Kramer method. Each value is mean ± standard deviation.
