Abstract

The thermophysical properties of polylactide (PLA)--natural rubber (NR) blends were explored using differential scanning calorimetry. Deconvolution analysis of PLA melting endotherms revealed that the incorporation of NR into the polymer matrix promotes the formation of a more highly ordered crystalline phase of PLA.
