Temperature transitions obtained from the thermograph: Glass transition temperature (Tg), cold crystallization temperature (Tc) and melting temperature (Tm) The crystallinity index is indicated as α.
| Sample | Tg (°C) | Tc (°C) | Tm (°C) | α (%) * |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PLA | 61.2 | - | 167.5 | 6.0 |
| M11 | 61.2 | 118.3 | 165.4/169.4 | 49.7 |
* Calculated using 93.6 J/g as the enthalpy for a 100% PLA crystalline.
