"The melt volume rate was determined in accordance with standard ISO 1133 (method A). The ""Meltflixer HT"" from Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (Waltham, USA) was used at a temperature of 190 °C and a weight of 5 kg. A double determination was carried out.
For selected compounding parameters (TP1, 200 rpm; TP1 600 rpm; TP3, 200 rpm; TP3, 600 rpm; all 3 h), pure PLA was also compounded with SC2 and subsequently characterized using MVR."
