Biodegradable polymers: wall slip, melt fracture, and processing aids

The wall slip and melt fracture behaviour of several commercial polylactides (PLAs) and poly(ε-caprolactone), (PCLs) have been investigated. PLAs with molecular weights greater than a certain value were found to slip, with the slip velocity to increase with decrease of molecular weight consistent wi...
