Table 5 Effect of l-lactic acid or d-lactic acid copolymer composition of polylactic acid on melting temperature and glass transition (Babul et al. 2013)
From: Review on the current status of polymer degradation: a microbial approach
Composition of copolymer | Melting temperature of copolymer (°C) | Glass transition temperature of copolymer (°C) |
|---|---|---|
l-/d-Lactic acid-PLA (80/20) | 125Â | 56Â |
l-/d-Lactic acid-PLA (85/15) | 140Â | 56Â |
l-/d-Lactic acid-PLA (90/10) | 150Â | 56Â |
l-/d-Lactic acid-PLA (95/5) | 164Â | 59Â |
l-/d-Lactic acid-PLA (100/0) | 178Â | 63Â |
