Poly(<scp>l</scp>-lactide): optimization of melting temperature and melting enthalpy and a comparison of linear and cyclic species
Hans R. Kricheldorf, Steffen M. Weidner, Andreas Meyer
Abstract
Experiments are performed to obtain the highest T m and Δ H m values for poly( l -lactide)s. They also include comparison with literature data and of cyclic and linear species.
