Conformationally disordered alpha'-crystals of poly (L-lactic acid) were formed by crystallization of the melt at high supercooling at 95 degrees C. Analysis of their melting temperature as a function of the crystallinity revealed absence of crystal thickening during isothermal crystallization. Annealing of alpha'-crystals between the crystallization temperature of 95 degrees C and their zero-entropy production melting temperature of 150 degrees C leads to their stabilization, mainly by solid-state reorganization. Heating faster than 30 K s(-1) suppresses reorganization and permits superheating of the alpha'-phase. Consequently, isothermal melting followed by melt-recrystallization becomes accessible. Melting is completed within few hundreds of milliseconds, and melt-recrystallization is about two orders of magnitude faster than crystallization of the isotropic melt at identical temperature. The time required for melting decreases with superheating and increases with the lateral dimension of the lamellar crystals. Laterally extended lamellae require long time for melting of the outer crystal layers, which allows stabilization of the central crystal part. These crystal remnants then serve as seed for immediate recrystallization. In case of complete melting of smaller lamellae, melt-recrystallization is retarded but still distinctly faster than cold- and melt-crystallization, due to incomplete isotropization of the melt.
