PLA-ZnO nanocomposite films: Water vapor barrier properties and specific end-use characteristics (2013, background): “Accordingly, the analyzed films are largely characterized by an amorphous structure, results that are not surprising by considering the poor crystallization ability of PLA [42, 43].”
Mechanical recycling of polylactide, upgrading trends and combination of valorization techniques (2016, background): “The chain scission due to thermo-mechanical degradation may lead to shorter chains acting as nucleation centers, thus increasing the ∆hCC and then modifying the crystallization kinetics and consequently affecting to the processability of PLA [72].”
Thermal, thermo-oxidative and thermomechanical degradation of PLA: A comparative study based on rheological, chemical and thermal properties (2018, unknown): “However, si nce the main production 70 processes of PLA are based on melt processing, espe cially extrusion and injection 71 moulding which require high temperature and mechani cal stress, it is crucial to 72 understand the structural, thermal and rheological ch nges that can occur during their 73 p”
Hydrolysis and Biodegradation of Poly(lactic acid) (2017, background): “Some literature values [30] of the crystallization half time are reported in Fig.”
