The influence of morphology on the (hydrolytic degradation of as-polymerized and hot-drawn poly(L-lactide))

 The influence of morpho-logy on the hydrolytic degradation behavior of poly(L-lactide) has been studied. High molecular weight and highly crystalline as-polymerized poly(L-lactide) was obtained in high yields through melt polymerization. Poly(L-lactide) fiber with a draw ratio of 5.6 was obtained by hot-drawing solution-spun fiber. During the bulk degradation of as-polymerized poly(L-lactide), a rapid decrease of molecular weight and tensile properties was observed. This could be explained by the morphology of the material and the presence of thermal stresses and subsequent generation of micro-cracks. The lamellar crystallites in as-polymerized poly(L-lactide) appeared to be very stable towards hydrolysis. The resorption time of high molecular weight as-polymerized poly(L-lactide) in vivo was estimated at 40–50 yr by extrapolation of molecular weight data. Hot-drawn poly(L-lactide) fiber showed exceptional hydrolytic stability under a static load and substantially retained its mechanical properties over a period of more than 5 yr. The high perfection of the crystalline fiber and the elimination of micro-voids obtained by hot-drawing prevented penetration of water and induced surface erosion of the fiber.

Electrospun Aligned Poly(L-lactide)/Poly(ϵ-caprolactone) /Poly(ethylene glycol) Blend Fibrous Membranes

Aligned poly(L-lactide) (PLLA)/poly(?-caprolactone) (PCL)/poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG) fibrous membranes were fabricated by electrospinning. Their morphology, thermal stability, mechanical properties, hydrophilic properties and in vitro degradation behaviors were investigated. With increasing the content of PEG, the PLLA/PCL/PEG blend fibers become thinner due to the increment in solution conductivity and decrease in solution viscosity. The thermal stability, hydrophilic properties, the tensile strength and elongation-at-break of PLLA/PCL/PEG blend fibrous membranes were improved, but porosity were decreased with the content of PEG changing from 10 wt% to 30 wt%. Furthermore, the incorporation of PEG enhanced the degradation of the PLLA/PCL/PEG fibrous membranes due to the better hydrophilic properties. In addition, the PLLA/PCL/PEG fibrous membranes have no toxic effect on proliferation of adipose-derived stem cells.     

聚乳酸/纳米SiO_2共混物的热性能

以两种含有不同功能团的纳米SiO2对聚左旋乳酸(PLLA)进行了共混改性,从而提高了PLLA的性能。在纳米SiO2的质量分数为0.5~5%范围内,PLLA与之是相容的,其中含有—NH2功能团的RNS型纳米对PLLA的Tg有一定的影响,加入质量分数为5%的RNS型纳米SiO2后,PLLA的Tg降至52℃。由于RNS纳米SiO2中的—NH2与PLLA分子链中的—C=O形成了弱的氢键,因此在相同质量分数下,对PLLA热稳定性的影响要高于含—CH3功能团的DNS纳米SiO2,质量分数为5%的纳米SiO2与PLLA共混后,PLLA/RNS纳米SiO2共混物的热失重起始温度为370℃,而PLLA/RNS纳米SiO2共混物的则为365℃。     

Preparation and Characterization of Aligned PLLA/PCL/HA Composite Fibrous Membranes

Aligned poly(L-lactide) (PLLA)/poly(?-caprolactone) (PCL)/hydroxyapaite (HA) composite fibrous membranes were fabricated by electrospinning. Their morphology, thermal stability, mechanical properties, hydrophilic properties and biocompatibility were investigated. The electrospun fibers are highly aligned and the HA are oriented along the fiber axis. When HA are incorporated, the PLLA/PCL/HA composite fibers become thinner due to the increased conductivity. In addition, the aligned HA reinforce the electrospun fibrous membranes. The larger porosity and higher hydrophilic properties induced by HA in the electrospun fibers have improved the degradation of the PLLA/PCL/HA fibrous membranes which have no toxic effect on proliferation of adipose-derived stem cells.     

Mechanical and thermal properties of polypeptide modified hydroxyapatite/poly(L-lactide) nanocomposites

Effect of Exogenous Carboxyl and Hydroxyl Groups on Pyrolysis Reaction of High Molecular Weight Poly(L-Lactide) under the Catalysis of Tin

The effect of exogenous hydroxyl, carboxyl groups and/or Sn~(2+) on pyrolysis reactions of poly(L-lactide)(PLLA) was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis(TGA). The activation energy(E_a) of pyrolysis reactions was estimated by the Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose method. The kinetic models were also explored by the Malek method, and the random degradation behavior was determined by comparing the plots of ln{-ln[1-(1-w)~(0.5)]} versus 1/T for experimental data from TGA with model reactions. The pyrolysis reaction rate of PLLA was affected slightly by exogenous hydroxyl and carboxyl groups at lower levels of Sn with 65-70 mg·kg~(-1) but increased appreciably in the presence of extraneous Sn~(2+), ―COOH/Sn~(2+), or ―OH/Sn~(2+). The E_a values for the pyrolysis reactions of the PLLAs that provided lactide were different under the catalysis of Sn~(2+) in different chemical environments because Sn~(2+) can form the new Sn-carboxylate and Sn-alkoxide with exogenous carboxyl and hydroxyl groups, which were different in steric hindrance for the formation of activated complex between Sn~(2+) and PLLA. Under the catalysis of Sn~(2+), a lactide molecule can be directly eliminated selectively at a random position of PLLA molecular chains, and the molecular chain of PLLA cannot change two PLLA fragments at the elimination site of lactide. However, it was regenerated into a new PLLA molecule with the molecular weight reduced by 144 g·mol~(-1).     

Thermal stability and degradation behavior of hydroxyethyl methacrylate-poly(lactide) polymers

Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA)-Poly(L-lactide) (PLA) polymers, with different molar ratios of HEMA/lactide (1/4 and 1/8), were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization. The thermal degradation behavior and kinetic parameters of these obtained HEMA-PLA polymers were analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Pyrolysis-Gas chromatography/Mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS). It was found that the activation energies of thermal degradation of the polymers increased as the residue weight was decreased, indicating that the mechanism of thermal decomposition changes during the process progress. The results showed that the random chain scission proceeded at lower temperature, and subsequently the specific chain scission did so. Moreover, the results revealed that thermal stability of PLA was increased by the copolymerzation of HEMA. In addition, Py-GC/MS analysis showed that the main decomposed products obtained from the HEMA-PLA polymers were HEMA, lactide, dimer, trimer and tetramer.     

Thermal Properties of Poly(L-lactide)/Calcium Carbonate Nanocomposites

Summary: Thermal properties of nanocomposites prepared of poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and CaCO₃ applying differential scanning (DSC) calorimetry and thermogravimetry (TG) were studied. Nanocomposites were prepared by extrusion process at 170 °C. DSC measurements show that CaCO₃ has no influence on glass transition and melting point of PLLA but lowers its cold crystallization temperature. There is no difference in glass transition temperature of PLLA before and after extrusion. High temperature thermal stability of the PLLA in the composites is poorer than neat PLLA. Kinetic parameters also indicate greater reactivity of the system upon CaCO₃ addition.     

Enzymatic degradation of poly(L-lactide) and poly(epsilon-caprolactone) electrospun fibers

Poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) ultrafine fibers were prepared by electrospinning. The influence of cationic and anionic surfactants on their enzymatic degradation behavior was investigated by measuring weight loss, molecular weight, crystallinity, and melting temperature of the fibers as a function of degradation time. Under the catalysis of proteinase K, the PLLA fibers containing the anionic surfactant sodium docecyl sulfate (SDS) exhibited a faster degradation rate than those containing cationic surfactant triethylbenzylammonium chloride (TEBAC), indicating that surface electric charge on the fibers is a critical factor for an enzymatic degradation. Similarly, TEBAC-containing PCL fibers exhibited a 47% weight loss within 8.5 h whereas SDS-containing PCL fibers showed little degradation in the presence of lipase PS. By analyzing the charge status of proteinase K and lipase PS under the experimental conditions, the importance of the surface charges of the fibers and their interactions with the charges on the enzymes were revealed. Consequently, a "two-step" degradation mechanism was proposed: (1) the enzyme approaches the fiber surface; (2) the enzyme initiates hydrolysis of the polymer. By means of differential scanning calorimetry and wide-angle X-ray diffraction, the crystallinity and orientation changes in the PLLA and PCL fibers during the enzymatic degradation were investigated, respectively.
