Lactide-Caprolactone copolymer (LACL) was added to a Polylactide/Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PLA/PCL) blend as a compatibilizer through solution mixing and the casting method. The melt crystallization behavior and crystalline morphology of PLA, PLA/PCL, and PLA/PCL/LACL were investigated using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and polarized optical microscopy (POM), respectively. The temperature of the shortest crystallization time for the samples was observed at 105 °C. The overall isothermal melt crystallization kinetics of the three samples were further studied using the Avrami theory. Neat PLA showed a higher half-time of crystallization than that of the PLA/PCL and PLA/PCL/LACL blends, whereas the half-time of crystallization of PLA/PCL and PLA/PCL/LACL showed no significant difference. The addition of PCL decreased the spherulite size of crystallized PLA, and the nuclei density in the PLA/PCL/LACL blend was much higher than that of the PLA and PLA/PCL samples, indicating that LACL had a compatibilization effect on the immiscible PLA/PCL blend, thereby promoting the nucleation of PLA. The spherulites in the PLA/PCL and PLA/PCL/LACL blend exhibited a smeared and rough morphology, which can be attributed to the fact that PCL molecules migrated to the PLA spherulitic surface during the crystallization of PLA.

The biodegradable nanocomposites of poly (3–hydroxybutyrate–co–3–hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) with different cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) contents were prepared by a solvent casting method. The effects of CNCs on the crystallization behavior of PHBV were studied by DSC. The DSC results showed that compared to PHBV, the melt crystallization temperature increased to 92.3 °C for the nanocomposites with 10 wt. % CNCs, which indicated that the crystallization of PHBV became easier with the addition of CNCs. Moreover, the non–isothermal crystallization kinetics study illustrated that overall crystallization rate of PHBV in the nanocomposites was faster than that of neat PHBV, which should be attributed to the strong heterogeneous nucleation of CNCs.
