Crystallization Kinetics<br />

Figure 1. DSC thermograms <strong>of</strong> (a) cold<br />

crystallization at a heating rate <strong>of</strong><br />

10 °C/min and<br />

(b) nonisothermal melt-crystallization<br />

at a cooling rate <strong>of</strong> 5 °C/min for PLLA<br />

with various MWs.<br />

the effect <strong>of</strong> various MWs on the isothermal crystallization<br />

With decreasing MW,<br />

the crystallization peak shifts to higher temperature<br />

and becomes much sharper,<br />

the crystallization rate increases<br />

the crystallization mechanism changes<br />

the crystallization cannot be finished
