Abstract: Molded articles with improved physical characteristics are obtained under molding conditions for general resin without causing deformation at the mold releasing time if a composition containing aliphatic polyester resin and one or more metal salts of aromatic sulfonate of a specified kind is used. Such a composition is placed inside a mold maintained at a temperature below the crystallization-initiating temperature by differential scanning calorimetry and above the glass transition temperature is molded while it crystallizes.

Abstract: There are provided a polylactic acid resin composition in which stereocrystals of poly-L-lactic acid and poly-D-lactic acid can be selectively crystallized to obtain polylactic acid having a sufficiently high stereocrystals ratio, a process for producing the same, and a polylactic acid molded article obtained from the same having a sufficiently high stereocrystals ratio. The polylactic acid resin composition is characterized by comprising a polylactic acid-lamellar clay mineral bonded body consisting of a lamellar clay mineral and one of poly-L-lactic acid and poly-D-lactic acid which is bonded to the lamellar clay mineral, and the other of poly-L-lactic acid and poly-D-lactic acid which is not bonded to the lamellar clay mineral.
