A method for the determination and correction of the effect of thermal degradation on the viscoelastic properties of degradable polymers
Small amplitude oscillatory shear is carried out during isothermal degradation of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) in order to determine the evolution of the characteristic relaxation time with degradation time and temperature. After reducing the relaxation time data to a single mastercurve, a 4-parameter fu...
