Abstract: Abstract Poly(l-lactide) (PLLA)/poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL) blends traditionally show low ductility because of the immiscibility between PLLA and PCL. In this study, this ductility challenge was addressed by modifying the compatibility between PLLA and PCL using poly(d-lactide)-poly(e-caprolactone)-poly(d-lactide)… read more here.
