“…The tensile properties of PLC are plotted against the crystallinity of the samples in The high moisture content in the hygroscopic polymers could often lead to negative effects on their mechanical properties [233]. The presence of water could act as a plasticizer and lower the Tg [245], which would affect the mechanical properties and the degradation rate [256]. In this work, the moisturized samples, however, showed no significant difference in their UTS and Young's modulus when compared to those of the dry samples.…”
