This contribution provides an overview of the current state of art of spherulite growth rate in binary polymer blends. A detailed analysis of the various factors that contribute to increase …
A combination of isothermal and non-isothermal methods was used to measure spherulite growth rates (G) of poly (l-lactic acid)(PLLA). G was determined during cooling at a constant …
