Jet set : Layer‐by‐layer alternate stepwise deposition of poly( L ‐lactide) (PLLA) and poly( D ‐lactide) (PDLA) is used to fabricate a polylactide (PLA) stereocomplex on a substrate (see picture). Multiple inkjet passes improve the crystal structure of the PLA composite without intermediate rinsing steps.
