The influence of composition and crystallization conditions on the behavior of double crystalline poly (ethylene oxide- b - l -lactide) (PEO- b -PLLA) diblock copolymers is investigated. Poly( l -lactide) contents in the synthesized copolymers vary from 50 to 91%, and the molecular weight of the PLL...
