Blends with 30/70 and 80/20 PLA/PCL ratios exhibit uneven dispersion of PLA phases.
“This is evident in blends with 30/70 and 80/20 PLA/PCL ratios, which exhibit uneven dispersion of PLA phases [26,88].”
PLA and PCL are inherently immiscible due to differences in polarity and crystallinity, which results in phase-separated morphologies.
“PLA, characterized by high stiffness and brittleness, and PCL, known for its flexibility and toughness, are inherently immiscible due to differences in polarity and crystallinity, which results in phase-separated morphologies [26,27,88,89].”
Uneven dispersion of PLA phases leads to weak interfacial adhesion and poor stress transfer, resulting in compromised mechanical performance.
“This leads to weak interfacial adhesion and poor stress transfer, resulting in compromised mechanical performance [26,88].”
Morphological studies using SEM and TEM consistently reveal a dispersed droplet-matrix or co-continuous phase morphology, depending on the blend composition and processing conditions.

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.
