In the triblock terpolymer PE217.1-b-PCL124.2-b-PLLA67.23, both PE and PLLA exhibit significant crystallinity levels around 30-35%, which are low compared to typical homopolymer values but appear enough to produce a clear E′ and H improvement and an E′′/E′ decrease with respect to the terpolymer PE227.1-b-PEO4615.1-b-PCL3210.4.
“As a final point, the role of crystalline PLLA and PE can be clearly discerned with the triblock terpolymer PE217.1-b-PCL124.2-b-PLLA67.23 In this case, both PE and PLLA exhibit significant crystallinity levels around 30–35%, which seem low compared to typical values for the homopolymers (Table S9) but appear to be enough to produce a clear E′ and H improvement (and a E″/E′ decrease, see Table S9)”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
