After 30 days of storage at room temperature, PLA/ TBBC-25 exhibits the characteristic diffraction peaks located at 15.0, 16.5, and 18.9[degrees], corresponding to the planes (010), (200)/ (110), and (203)/(l 13) of orthorhombic crystalline phase [35, 36], Such peaks correspond to the typical a crystalline phase of PLA, which is described as pseudo-orthorhombic or orthorhombic unit cell.

Generally, ReMn[O.sub.3] has two kinds of multi ferroic structures, that is, hexagonal and orthorhombic. The rare earth ([Re.sup.3+]) ionicsize shrinks from 1.11 [Angstrom] to 0.94 [Angstrom] with decreasing the atomic number and reducing the electrons residing in the 4f orbit, called the lanthanum contraction effect.
