发泡聚乳酸/热塑性聚氨酯/二氧化硅纳米复合材料的泡孔结构

以超临界二氧化碳作为物理发泡剂,通过快速降压法制备聚乳酸(PLA)/热塑性聚氨酯(TPU)/二氧化硅(SiO2)纳米复合材料发泡样品。发泡样品的泡孔结构使用扫面电子显微镜进行观察。在低频区,SiO2增加PLA/TPU共混物的储能模量和复数黏度。SiO2的加入使PLA/TPU共混物发泡样品的泡孔直径减小、泡孔密度增大。SiO2对PLA/TPU共混物发泡样品泡孔结构的改善归因于SiO2的异相成核作用和对共混物流变性能的改善作用。

粘度法研究氯化聚丙烯和涂料树脂间的相容性

用稀溶液粘度法研究了氯化聚丙烯与石油树脂、丙烯酸树脂和醇酸树脂间的相容性,并用α判据对相容性结果进行判别。结果显示,石油树脂/氯化聚丙烯的共混体系是相容的;丙烯酸树脂/氯化聚丙烯的共混体系是不相容的。而醇酸树脂与氯化聚丙烯的相容性情况复杂,由二者的组成决定。当m(醇酸树脂)∶m(氯化聚丙烯)1∶1时,体系是相容的;当m(醇酸树脂)∶m(氯化聚丙烯)1∶1时,体系是不相容的。通过共溶剂法和涂膜宏观特性对上述体系的相容性进行测定,所得结果与α判据的结果相符合,印证了稀溶液粘度法研究溶液中高分子间的相互作用来预测涂料树脂的相容性具有一定可行性。

Toughening of polylactide by melt blending with a biodegradable poly(ether)urethane elastomer

Melt blending of polylactide (PLA) and a biodegradable poly(ether)urethane (PU) elastomer has been performed in an effort to toughen the polylactide without compromising its biodegradability and biocompatibility. The miscibility, phase morphology, mechanical properties, and toughening mechanism of the blend were investigated. The blend was found by dynamic mechanical analysis to be a partially miscible system with shifted glass transition temperatures. The PU elastomer was dispersed in the PLA matrix with a domain size of sub-micrometer scale. The addition of PU elastomer not only accelerated the crystallization speed, but also decreased the crystallinity of the PLA. With an increase in PU content, the blend shows decreased tensile strength and modulus; however, the elongation at break and the impact strength were significantly increased, indicating the toughening effects of the PU elastomer on the PLA. The brittle fracture of neat PLA was gradually transformed into ductile fracture by the addition of PU elastomer. It was found that the PLA matrix demonstrates large area, plastic deformation (shear yielding) in the blend upon being subjected the tensile and impact tests, which is an important energy-dissipation process and leads to a toughened, biodegradable polymer blend.     

Effect of epoxidized palm oil on the mechanical and morphological properties of a PLA–PCL blend

In this study, the effects of epoxidized palm oil (EPO) on the mechanical and morphological properties of a blend of two types of biodegradable polymer, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and polycaprolactone (PCL), were investigated. The solution-casting process, with chloroform as a solvent, was used to prepare samples. Addition of EPO reduced the tensile strength and modulus but increased elongation at break for the PLA–PCL blend. The highest elongation at break was observed for the blend with 10 % (w/w) EPO content. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicated that the fractured surface morphology of the PLA–PCL blend became more stretched and homogeneous in PLA–PCL–EPO. Possible interactions between the PLA–PCL blend and EPO were also characterized by use of Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Thermal stability was studied by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. The results from FTIR and SEM revealed that the miscibility of the PLA–PCL blend was improved by addition of EPO.     

Preparation and interfacial properties of a novel biodegradable polymer surfactant: poly(ethylene oxide monooleate-block-DL-lactide)

In this paper, we report a novel synthesis of poly(ethylene oxide monooleate-block-DL-lactide) (MOPEO-PLA) in the presence of stannous 2-ethylhexanoate catalyst. By utilizing the surfactant property and the reactive double bond of the amphiphilic MOPEO-PLA, various characteristics of PLA microspheres, such as surface and internal structure, surface morphology, release property, and so on, may potentially be controlled. MOPEO-PLA was found to be hydrophobic enough to prevent loss by dissolution into aqueous solution, which is often a problem for MOPEO. Furthermore, the interfacial tension measurements of a MOPEO-PLA/toluene/water system revealed that MOPEO-PLA had a good surface activity almost equal to that of MOPEO. The MOPEO-PLA/PLA blend films were prepared by solvent casting on a water layer. Contact-angle measurements of MOPEO-PLA/PLA blend films confirmed that the hydrophilic PEO segments were selectivity accumulated at the oil/water interface. Moreover, the surface free energy on the 'water side' of the MOPEO-PLA/PLA blend films was increased because of the increase in polar components as a result of the ether bonds of the PEO segments. Schematic illustration of the adsorption property of a) MOPEO-PLA with a high-molecular-weight PLA segment and b) MOPEO-PLA with a low-molecular-weight PLA segment at an ethyl acetate/water interface.     

The synergistic reinforcing effects of halloysite nanotube particles and polyolefin elastomer-grafted-maleic anhydride compatibilizer on melt and solid viscoelastic properties of polylactic acid/ polyolefin elastomer blends

The effect of halloysite nanotube (HNTs) particles and polyolefin elastomer-graft-maleic anhydride (POE-g-MA) in the polylactic acid (PLA) and polyolefin elastomer (POE) blend with a constant weight percentage composition have been studied using the scanning electron microscopy, rheometry, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) as well as the thermogravimetric testing. Through these, it was found that the simultaneous presence of POE-g-MA and HNT significantly improves the melt and solid viscoelastic properties and thermal stability of PLA/POE. This improvement is attributed to the increased interactions and improved interfacial adhesion between the present components. The microscopic images of PLA/POE-g-MA/POE (80/8/12) blend containing 4 wt% HNT showed a microstructure similar to the interconnected morphology due to the enhanced compatibility and better dispersion of nanoparticles. The rheological behavior was significantly changed for the PLA/POE blend containing POE-g-MA and 4 wt% HNT. This dramatic increase in the rheological properties was consistent with the morphological results. Only one glass transition temperature was observed in the DMTA plot of PLA/POE-g-MA/POE blend, which was a sign of a homogeneous, fully compatible system. In addition, a very strong reinforcing effect of HNT particles was observed in the presence of POE-g-MA for the nanocomposites. Finally, the thermogravimetric analysis showed a completely different trend for thermal degradation of PLA/POE-g-MA/POE nanocomposite containing 4 wt% HNT, which could be an indication of microstructural development.

醋酸淀粉/聚乳酸的制备及性能的影响研究

采用自设计的双螺杆结构挤出制备聚乳酸(PLA)/醋酸淀粉(AS)的全生物降解材料,考察材料的AS的含量和取代度对复合材料动态流变性能、机械性能的影响。研究结果表明,AS含量明显影响复合材料的力学性能、复合黏度和储能模量:当AS含量从45%增加到70%,材料的拉伸强度下降,复数黏度和储能模量则提高。随着AS取代度由1.0上升为3.0,复合材料的复数黏度和储能模量下降,拉伸强度由12.0MPa上升为15.5MPa。对复合材料进行电镜扫描分析发现,AS以海岛结构形式分散在PLA的连续相中,取代度2.0的AS与PLA相容性最好,当其质量含量达到70%,材料的拉伸强度仍然不低于10.0MPa,具有较好的机械强度。     

Effect of montmorillonite and chain extender on rheological,morphological and biodegradation behavior of PLA/PBAT blends

The effect of montmorillonite clay (MMT) and/or chain extender (CE) on rheological, morphological and biodegradation properties of PLA/PBAT blend was investigated. The biodegradation behavior was evaluated by CO₂ evolution in soil burial. CE incorporation resulted in an increase in the complex viscosity of PLA/PBAT blends, an increase in PLA crystallinity and a decrease in the dispersed phase diameter. MMT incorporation resulted in an increase in the complex viscosity, more pronounced shear-thinning behavior and a decrease in the dispersed phase diameter. CE incorporation resulted in a slight effect in the rheological properties of PLA/PBAT blend in the presence of MMT. Unfilled PLA/PBAT blend presented the highest amount of evolved CO₂, and the micrographs indicated that degradation tends to occur on the surface. MMT delayed biodegradation of PLA/PBAT blends even although their surfaces presented some cracks and holes in a few localized regions. PLA/PBAT + CE blend presented the lowest amount of evolved CO₂.     

Effect of Carboxylic Acid Nucleating Agent on Crystallization and Mechanical Properties of PLA/PBS Blends

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) blends were prepared using a carboxylic acid salt as nucleating agent (NA). The effect of NA on the crystallization kinetics of PLA and PLA/PBS blend was investigated using a differential scanning calorimeter, a polarized optical microscope and a wideangle X-ray diffractometer. The crystallization rate of PLA component in PLA/PBS blends is increased effectively by NA through fast nucleation and growth rate of PLA α'-form crystal, which is confirmed by isothermal crystallization behavior of PLA/PBA/NA composites. The isothermal crystallization results also show that the incorporation of NA induces heterogeneous nucleation mechanism in PLA component. The increased number of crystal nuclei hinders the increase of average grain size of PLA component in composites but contributes to a higher crystallinity of both PLA and PBS components in PLA/PBS blends. Finally, the mechanical properties and dynamic mechanical properties of PLA/PBS/NA composites are improved because of the increased crystallinity, which are superior to that of PLA/PBS blend.     

Characterization of the effect of REC on the compatibility of PHBH and PLA

This study reports the compatibility of the biobased polymers poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3- -hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBH) and poly(lactic acid) (PLA), as well as the effect of the addition of a reactive epoxy compatibilizer (REC) to the PHBH/PLA blend. The chemical structure, thermal performance, surface morphology and mechanical properties of the blends were measured using fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic thermo-mechanical analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and impact and tensile testing.PHBH and PLA were partially compatible, and a PHBH/PLA mass ratio of 80:20 was selected for evaluation with an REC. The REC decreased the difference between the glass-transition temperatures of PHBH and PLA, decreased the particle size of the dispersed phase of the PHBH/PLA blend and produced uniform particle distribution. Moreover, the REC improved the elongation at break and impact strength of the PHBH/PLA blend. These results show that the addition of an REC improves the compatibility of PHBH and PLA.     

Miscibility and phase structure of binary blends of polylactide and poly(methyl methacrylate)

Blends of amorphous poly(DL‐lactide) (DL‐PLA) and crystalline poly(L‐lactide) (PLLA) with poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) were prepared by both solution/precipitation and solution‐casting film methods. The miscibility, crystallization behavior, and component interaction of these blends were examined by differential scanning calorimetry. Only one glass‐transition temperature (T_g) was found in the DL‐PLA/PMMA solution/precipitation blends, indicating miscibility in this system. Two isolated T_g's appeared in the DL‐PLA/PMMA solution‐casting film blends, suggesting two segregated phases in the blend system, but evidence showed that two components were partially miscible. In the PLLA/PMMA blend, the crystallization of PLLA was greatly restricted by amorphous PMMA. Once the thermal history of the blend was destroyed, PLLA and PMMA were miscible. The T_g composition relationship for both DL‐PLA/PMMA and PLLA/PMMA miscible systems obeyed the Gordon–Taylor equation. Experiment results indicated that there is no more favorable trend of DL‐PLA to form miscible blends with PMMA than PLLA when PLLA is in the amorphous state. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
