Abstract

As the EPP and EPE bead foams have two crystal melting peaks, in order to manufacture expanded PLA bead foam (EPLA) with the same strategy, the feasibility of double crystal melting peak creation for PLA has been investigated in this work. The influence of various annealing temperatures and time on the double crystal melting peak creation is investigated for a linear and a branched PLA with two various degrees of crystallinity in a regular differential scanning calorimeter (DSC).
