DOI: 10.1016/j.polymdegradstab.2020.109311
Abstract: Abstract In order to develop functional polymers using polylactide (PLA), it has been paid attention to use various initiators for ring-opening polymerization, because the polymer backbone could not be modified if a stereocomplex formation was… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.macromol.6b02000
Abstract: On the basis of sufficiently realistic chain models and simulations, it is concluded that the commonly used models of the lamellar structure of melt-crystallized semicrystalline polymers unintentionally but inevitably contain layers with a higher density… read more here.
