The barrier properties of semicrystalline polymers are crucial for their performance and their use as packaging materials. This work uncovers the mechanism of polymorphism modification (α, α′ and stereocomplex-crystals) and its combined effect on the oxygen and water vapor barrier properties of semicrystalline stereocomplex polylactide (SCPLA).
Role of stereocomplex in advancing mass transport and thermomechanical properties of polylactide Qi Chen, ab Rafael Auras c and Ilke Uysal-Unalan *ab Abstract Designing high-performance renewable polylactide (PLA) based materials will assist in achieving the full potential of PLA as a sustainable alternative to fossil-based polymers, addressing the current challenge of low circulation of PLA in the green bioeconomy due to low market share.
