Table 1. DSC Results for the Synthesized PLA and PLA–PEGa.
sample | Tg (°C) | Tm (°C) | ΔHm (J/g) | Tc (°C) | ΔHc (J/g) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
PLA | 41.1 | 143.4 | 43.5 | 94.5 | 19.9 |
PLA–PEG | 32.5 | 139.3 | 44.7 | 84.7 | 34.4 |
Tg—temperature of glass transition; Tm—melting point; ΔHm—enthalpy of fusion; Tc—temperature of crystallization; and ΔHc—enthalpy of crystallization.
