Abstract Poly (lactic acid)(PLA), a biodegradable and compostable polymer, is gaining
market acceptance and has been extensively investigated. The versatility of PLA has led to …

The aim of this review is to summarize studies conducted by temperature-modulated
differential scanning calorimetry (TMDSC) on polymer crystallization. This technique can …

High-resolution lithography often involves thin resist layers which pose a challenge for
pattern characterization. Direct evidence that the pattern was well-defined and can be used …

Crystallization is among the easiest ways to improve polymer barrier properties because of
the tortuosity increase within the material and the strong coupling between amorphous and …

Fully biobased poly (butylene 2, 5-furandicarboxylate)-co-poly (lactic acid) s (PBFLAs) of
lactic acid composition from 10% to 40% are synthesized. They are subjected to molecular …

The helium and oxygen gas barrier properties of poly (lactide) were investigated as a
function of stereochemistry and crystallinity degree. Poly (l-lactide) and poly (d, l-lactide) …

The glass transition of poly (ethylene 2, 5-furandicarboxylate)(PEF), an emergent bio-based
polyester, was investigated in comparison to one of its chemical analogues: poly (ethylene …

The improvement of physical and mechanical properties of nanofilled matrices significantly
depends on the average size of dispersed fillers. In particular, the aspect ratio of lamellar …

Semicrystalline polylactide (PLA) films with controlled morphology were produced by
thermal crystallization to optimize the oxygen barrier properties. The crystalline morphology …

The barrier properties of poly (lactic acid)(PLA) play a key role in food packaging
applications. For their optimization, the influence of crystallinity on the barrier properties of …
