Acceleration of crystallisation rate in injection moulded PLLA by stereocomplex formation

An experimental study has been performed to examine the crystallisation rate of poly(L)lactic acid (PLLA) blended with poly(D) lactic acid (PDLA) in order to reduce injection moulding cycle time. Optically pure PLLA was melt blended with up to 15wt% of its enantiomer PDLA in a twin screw extruder. F...
