Hello everyone

I have done a DSC test on the poly-lactic acid by Mettler DSC set-up. As the result shows, there are three endothermic peaks in the red curve that I marked by the black color. It is obvious that peak number one belongs to the glass transition temperature, and peak number three is the melting temperature, but I don't know exactly what is the type of peak number two. I have this concern that the second peak might be the effect of impurity or a metastable modification in the polymer tested.

Any guidance, suggestion, or opinion would be helpful.

Best regards.
