Crystallization and self-nucleation of PLA, PBS and PCL in their immiscible binary and ternary blends

Three semicrystalline polyesters, poly(lactic acid), poly(caprolactone) and poly(butylene succinate) (PLA, PCL and PBS) were melt blended to prepare binary and ternary systems of selected compositions. In binary blends with a sea-island morphology, each of the polymers is either the major or dispers...

In binary blends with a sea-island morphology, each of the polymers is either the major or dispersed phase in the various samples.
