Enhanced Stereocomplex Crystallization of Biodegradable Enantiomeric Poly(lactic acid)s by Repeated Casting
(583–589)Macromolecular Materials and Engineering 296 #7 (2011)
Tsuji and Yamamoto of Toyohashi University of Technology, Japan, showed that for all solvents, the crystallinities of stereocomplex crystallites and homocrystallites increased and decreased, respectively, with increasing number of castings, indicating that repeated casting is a promising method to enhance stereocomplex crystallization.  (RDC 7/14/2011)
