| sample | glass transition temperature (°C) | melting temperature (°C) |
|---|---|---|
| MCL-PHA (100%) nonporous [n = 4] | –44.5 ± 1.6 | 52.1 ± 0.4 |
| MCL-PHA/PCL (95/5%) nonporous [n = 4] | –48.2 ± 0.5 | 50.4 ± 0.1/58.3 ± 0.1a |
| MCL-PHA (100%) porous (100 μm) [n = 4] | –44.5 ± 1.9 | 53.6 ± 0.4 |
| MCL-PHA/PCL (95/5%) porous (100 μm) [n = 3] | –46.5 ± 1.1 | 51.9 ± 0.1/59.4 ± 0.3a |
Reported values correspond to the separate peaks of the MCL-PHA/PCL thermograms.
