54. The conditions used caused machine settling times of approximately 30 s. Most of the samples exhibited a tail prior to the leveling off of the baseline, which may have been from the exotherm of the corresponding crystallization.
55. A second exotherm in the blends containing less than 8 wt % PDLA could not be resolved from the baseline in the DSC experiments.
