A Study of the Crystallization, Melting, and Foaming Behaviors of Polylactic Acid in Compressed CO2

The crystallization and melting behaviors of linear polylactic acid (PLA) treated by compressed CO2 was investigated. The isothermal crystallization test indicated that while PLA exhibited very low crystallization kinetics under atmospheric pressure, CO2 exposure significantly increased PLA’s crysta...
