Effects of molecular architecture on crystallization behavior of poly(lactic acid) and random ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers

The relationship between polymer chain architecture, crystallization behavior, and morphology formation was investigated. The structures formed are highly dependent on chain configuration and crystallization kinetics. Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and Poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) random copolymer...
