abstract = "In this study, the effect of dissolved CO 2 on the thermal behavior of PLA with various D-contents (with and without talc) has been investigated during the cooling process at atmospheric pressure in a regular differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and a high-pressure DSC The results show that the crystallinity of PLA samples improves by increasing the CO 2 pressure, reducing the D-content, and adding talc. Also, T g and T m shift to lower temperatures as the pressure increases, due to the plasticization effect of CO 2.",
