Table 2. Slope of the tan δ Values of the Different Formulationsa.
sample | slope | % increase of slope over neat PCL | R2 |
---|---|---|---|
PCL | 0.0187 | 0.99 | |
PCL-CIP | 0.0465 | 149 | 0.98 |
PCL-CIP-10P2 | 0.0743 | 297 | 0.99 |
PCL-CIP-10P4 | 0.0407 | 118 | 0.97 |
PCL-CIP-10P8 | 0.0246 | 32 | 0.99 |
PCL-CIP-15P2 | 0.0390 | 109 | 0.99 |
PCL-CIP-15P4 | 0.0316 | 70 | 0.95 |
PCL-CIP-15P8 | 0.0272 | 45 | 0.99 |
The percentage increase over neat PCL is also included to illustrate that the blends had a larger gradient and thus exhibited a higher rate of solidification.
