Rheology and processing of biodegradable poly(epsilon -caprolactone) polyesters and their blends with polylactides

The solution rheological properties and melt viscoelastic behaviour of a number of commercial and newly synthesized PCLs with different molecular characteristics was investigated using both rotational and extensional rheometry. The variation of zero-shear viscosity and relaxation spectrum with molec...
