Poly(ʟ-lactide) (PLLA) films, even of high thickness, exhibiting co-crystalline and crystalline α phases with their chain axes preferentially perpendicular to the film plane (c<sub>⊥</sub> orientation) have been obtained. This c<sub>⊥</sub> orientation, unprecedented for PLLA films, can be achieved by the crystallization of amorphous films as induced by low-temperature sorption of molecules being suitable as guests of PLLA co-crystalline forms, such as <i>N</i>,<i>N</i>-dimethylformamide, cyclop ...[more]
