The role of organic solvents in governing the crystallization and morphology of semi-crystalline poly- -lactide (PLLA) sheets was systematically investigated. Three different organic solvents; ethyl acetate (EA), o-dichlorobenzene (ODCB), and nitrobenzene (NB), with a solubility parameter analogous...
