The aging effect on the phase transitions of PLA compounds was investigated using modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC), through analysis of total, reversing and non-reversing heat flows. The crystallization and melting phenomena were evidenced, as well as the increase of crystalline ordering upon aging. The kinetics of cold crystallization and recrystallization during the melting event were solely elucidated using MDSC. The phase transitions were modeled using Pseudo-Avrami, which displayed good fits between the theoretical and experimental data. This work reports the influence of the composite aging on reordering and recrystallization phenomena of PLA and PLA/Babassu composite with insights of the reordering and recrystallization phenomena.enAlle Rechte vorbehaltenTECHNOLOGY::Materials sciencePhase Transition and Critical PhenomenaPolyhydroxyalkanoatesSoft MaterialsTECHNOLOGY::Chemical engineering::Chemical process and manufacturing engineering::Materials chemistryMaterials Engineering600 Technik, Medizin, angewandte Wissenschaften::600 TechnikText::Zeitschrift::Wissenschaftlicher Artikel10.26092/elib/4131urn:nbn:de:gbv:46-elib221356
