Structural changes during thermally induced crystallization and alkaline hydrolysis of Poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) films were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), FTIR spectroscopy, weight loss, HPLC and optical microscopy. It was shown that crystallinity (χc), glass transition temperature (Tg) and melting temperature (Tm) were found to be strongly annealing temperature (Ta) dependent. The FTIR study of PLLA films suggested that the bands at 921 and 956 cm−1 could be used to monitor the structural changes of PLLA. An independent infrared spectroscopic method was developed for the first time to determine crystallinity of PLLA before degradation and it showed good qualitative correlation with DSC crystallinity. The higher crystallinity values determined by FTIR were attributed to the intermediate phase included in the IR crystallinity. Both the weight loss data and the percentage of lactic acid obtained by HPLC showed that the alkaline hydrolysis of PLLA films increased with increasing crystallinity. The DSC observation showed an increase in Tg and no significant change in Tm and heat of fusion, while IR showed an increase in IR crystallinity with increasing hydrolysis time. The increase in IR crystallinity and Tg with hydrolysis time suggested that degradation progressed from the edges of the crystalline lamellas without decreasing lamellar thickness, but increased the intermediate phase and the short-range order. 相似文献

Polylactic acid (PLA) in a crystallized state has mechanical properties at high temperatures superior to PLA in an amorphous state. However, a long annealing time is required to fully crystallize PLA. In this study, microfibrillated cellulose (MFC)-reinforced partially crystallized PLA composites were produced, with the goal of reducing the time required to fabricate PLA parts. A series of PLA/MFC composites at a fiber content of 10 wt% from degree of crystallinity (Xc) 0 to 43% was obtained by annealing at 80 °C. Although the annealing time required to obtain a composite (Xc: 17%) was only around one-seventh of the 20 min needed to fully crystallize neat PLA (Xc: 41%), both materials had comparable rigidity above the glass transition temperature (T g) and creep deformation at around T g. These results showed that partially crystallized PLA/MFC composite can replace fully crystallized neat PLA. 相似文献

Thermal and mechanical properties of polylactide (PLA) composites with different grades of calcium carbonate, 40 nm and 90 nm nanoparticles, and also with submicron particles, unmodified and modified with calcium stearate or stearic acid, obtained by melt mixing, were compared. Films with amorphous and crystalline matrices were prepared and examined.Tg of PLA in the composites remained unaffected whereas its cold crystallization was enhanced by the fillers and predominantly depended on filler content. Filling decreased thermal stability of the materials but their 5% weight loss temperatures well exceeded 250 °C, evidencing stability in the temperature range of PLA processing. The amorphous nanocomposites with modified nanoparticles exhibited improved drawability and toughness without a significant decrease of tensile strength; nearly two-fold increase of the elongation at break and tensile toughness was achieved at 5 wt% content of the modified nanofiller. Lack of surface modification of the filler, larger grain size with an average of 0.9 μm, and matrix crystallinity had a detrimental effect on the drawability. However, the presence of nanofillers and crystallinity improved tensile modulus of the materials by up to 15% compared to neat amorphous PLA. 相似文献

In this study, the thermal degradations of some commercial polylactide (PLA) films, pure and subjected to various superficial treatments, were investigated in both inert (flowing nitrogen) and oxidative (static air) atmospheres. Degradations were carried out in a thermobalance, in the scanning mode, at various heating rates, and the obtained thermogravimetric curves were discussed and interpreted. Experiments, performed in the temperature range of 35–700 °C, showed similar behavior in both the atmospheres used. The initial decomposition temperature (T i) and the apparent activation energy (E a) of degradation of the differently treated PLA films were determined and compared with each other and with those of untreated PLA. The E a of degradation was obtained by Kissinger’s method, and the values were found increased linearly as a function of crystallinity percentage (%c) as well as the T i values. The glass transition temperature (T g) was also determined by differential scanning calorimetry. All the investigated parameters showed dependence on different treatments made to the films. The results obtained for the degradations of PLA films were compared with each other, and a classification of thermal stability in the studied environments were made. 相似文献

Poly(lactic acid)/organo-montmorillonite nanocomposites were prepared by melt intercalation technique. Maleic anhydride-grafted
ethylene propylene rubber (EPMgMA) was added into the PLA/OMMT in order to improve the compatibility and toughness of the
nanocomposites. The samples were prepared by single screw extrusion followed by compression molding. The effect of OMMT and
EPMgMA on the thermal properties of PLA was studied. The thermal properties of the PLA/OMMT nanocomposites have been investigated
by using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and thermo-gravimetry analyzer (TG). The melting temperature (T
m), glass transition temperature (T
g), crystallization temperature (T
c), degree of crystallinity (χc), and thermal stability of the PLA/OMMT nanocomposites have been studied. It was found that the thermal properties of PLA
were greatly influenced by the addition of OMMT and EPMgMA. 相似文献

Uniaxial deformation of amorphous L -polylactic acid films was performed at two different temperatures at which thermal degradation was minimal, 70 °C or Tg + 10 and 90 °C or Tg + 30. Samples were annealed postdeformation for long times (either 15 or 45 min) to approach equilibrium conditions. Samples deformed and annealed at 70 °C showed low crystallinity and poor crystalline order or crystal size, as determined by wide-angle X-ray diffraction. At 90 °C, high crystallinity and order parameters were observed. In addition, once the oriented chains had crystallized at this temperature, nonoriented chains also underwent crystallization, and a small fraction of nonordered crystal phase was therefore observed after long annealing times. These observations are explained on the basis of different morphologies in samples drawn at the two temperatures. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys, 2013 相似文献

α’-晶型聚乳酸(PLA)膜被制备和单轴拉伸.通过凝胶渗透色谱仪(GPC)、全反射红外光谱(ATR-IR)、差示扫描量热仪(DSC),X射线衍射(XRD)及Raman光谱等测试技术研究了拉伸温度梯度变化对α’-晶型PLA膜的分子量及其分布、分子链构象、结晶度、晶型转变和取向行为的影响.在恒定拉伸速度与应变下,拉伸温度对PLA膜的应力-应变曲线,特别是屈服强度、拉伸模量产生了较大的影响,其值随拉伸温度的增加而降低.GPC测试结果表明,在不同的温度下拉伸后,PLA会发生一定程度的降解,分子量降低;ATR-IR,XRD,DSC和Raman光谱测试结果表明,在不同的温度下拉伸后α’-型PLA没有发生晶型的转变,即没有由α’-晶体转变为α-或β-晶体.结果表明PLA的结晶度、分子链取向程度强烈依赖于拉伸温度:当拉伸温度低于100℃时,α’-型PLA膜的结晶度与沿着拉伸方向的变形程度随拉伸温度的增加而增加,分子链的高度取向诱导了PLA结晶;当拉伸温度超过100℃后,PLA的分子链沿着拉伸方向上的有序度与结晶度将降低. 相似文献

Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) has properties suitable for many applications. However, PLA's properties are affected by environmental conditions. In this study, the glass-rubber transition temperatures (Tg) of PLA films were measured during immersion (i.e., in-situ) in pure alcohols and alcohol aqueous solutions using a dynamic mechanical analysis technique. The Tg of PLA decreased when immersed in alcohols. For pure aliphatic alcohols, the Tg reduction became smaller as the number of carbons (C1–C10) in the alcohol main chains increased. The Fox equation and the Hansen solubility parameters (HSP)/Flory-Huggins (FH) model were used to explain the Tg reduction. The relationships explained the interactions between PLA and pure alcohols with small molecules (C1–C8), but bigger pure alcohols (C9–C10) did not fit the prediction. The chemical isomerism in pure propanol (i.e., propan-1-ol and propan-2-ol) did not affect the Tg reduction. The Tg reduction in propan-2-ol aqueous solutions was concentration dependent although the partition coefficients based on the HSP and the FH parameters did not fit this relationship. The in-situ immersion of PLA in alcohol solutions could be used to evaluate the change in Tg from the Tg of dry PLA. 相似文献

Photo-oxidative degradation of polystyrene in the form of film 20 μm thick was carried out in air using u.v. light of 254 nm at room temperature and at temperatures up to Tg. GPC was used to study changes of molecular weight distribution during the process. The GPC results were analysed using equations for an initially most probable distribution and non-uniform energy dissipation; the quantum yield values of chain scission and cross-linking of polystyrene during degradation were calculated. Initially, degradation progressed at high rate, connected with consumption of oxygen dissolved in the film. The slower subsequent degradation was connected with consumption of oxygen supplied during the reaction. An appreciable increase in the quantum yields for chain scission and cross-linking was observed just below and at Tg for the initial stage of photo-oxidative degradation. This increase of the quantum yield of photodegradation was caused by increased mobility of oxygen molecules in the film, connected with movement of polymer chain elements. 相似文献

Structural investigation of polystyrene grafted and sulfonated poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) membranes prepared by radiation-induced grafting of styrene onto commercial PTFE films and subsequent sulfonation was carried out by differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction. The effect of the structural changes taking place in the membranes during the preparation procedure (grafting and sulfonation) and the variation of the degree of grafting on melting temperature (Tm), glass transition temperature (Tg), heat of melting (ΔHm), and degree of crystallinity was studied. The melting temperature (Tm) was found to be independent of the degree of grafting unlike glass transition temperature (Tg), which was found to be a function of the degree of grafting. Moreover, the degree of crystallinity of the membranes was found to decrease with the increase in the degree of grafting. The results of this work suggest that grafting takes place in the entire amorphous region without any significant disruption in the crystalline structure of PTFE film and the decrease in the degree of crystallinity is mainly attributed to the dilution effect. 相似文献

Thermal degradation of a high temperature epoxy network is studied in terms glass transition temperature (Tg) reduction over a temperature window encompassing the Tg of the network. The Tg is shown to decrease as the network is thermally aged at elevated temperatures in air and in argon. The duration of the aging experiments is extended to long time such that the absolute Tg reduction approaches a long time reduction plateau. Degradation is dominated by non-oxidative pyrolysis with a small contribution from diffusion limited thermal oxidative degradation at the surface. A time–temperature superposition is constructed from the extent of Tg reduction of samples aged in air and the thermal shift factors are shown to have Arrhenius scaling behavior. An activation energy is extracted that agrees with previous activation energy measurements derived from other property measurements of the same network aged under similar conditions. The agreement of the activation energy with past results shows that Tg reduction is controlled by the same degradation mechanism and may be used as an observable for lifetime estimates when thermal degradation is pyrolytic in nature. The extent of Tg reduction is modeled with an autocatalytic rate expression and compared to previous property measurements to show the difference in sensitivity of observable material properties on degradation. 相似文献

Polylactide (PLA)‐grafted dextran was synthesized with a trimethylsilyl protection method to produce novel biodegradable, biomedical materials. PLA‐grafted dextrans with various lengths and numbers of graft chains were synthesized. The properties of solution‐cast films prepared from PLA‐grafted dextrans were investigated with thermal and dynamic mechanical analyses. The graft‐copolymer films exhibited lower glass‐transition temperatures, melting temperatures (Tm's), and crystallinities as well as higher viscosity properties as compared with poly‐L ‐lactide film. The Tm and crystallinity and mechanical properties at 37 °C could be adjusted by controlling the molecular structure such as the lengths and numbers of graft chains. Furthermore, the biodegradability of PLA‐grafted dextran films was investigated through the weight change of film and the molecular weight change of polymer during the in vitro degradation test. PLA‐grafted dextrans exhibited different degradation behavior from poly‐L ‐lactide with the introduction of a polysaccharide segment and branched structure as well as the change of end‐functional group. The degradation rate of PLA‐grafted dextran and the cast film prepared from PLA‐grafted dextran could be adjusted by controlling the sugar content or the length of graft chains. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The effects of drawing temperature (Td) and draw strain on the orientation and structure of semicrystalline poly(lactic acid) (PLA) films were investigated by wide angle X-ray diffraction and polarized Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Semicrystalline PLA samples with two initial levels of crystallinity, Xc = 1% and 11%, were prepared by cold crystallization at 80 °C. Whatever Xc and Td, the total amount of the ordered phases (i.e. crystalline + mesophase) increased with draw strain, which could be ascribed to the formation of strain-induced mesophase at Td = 60 or 70 °C but crystalline at 80 °C. Also, the molecular orientation of both the amorphous and ordered phases increased with draw strain. Whatever Xc, the orientation of the ordered phases was insensitive to Td, whereas higher orientation in the amorphous phase was achieved at lower Td, and the trend was more significant for Xc = 1% compared with 11%. 相似文献

The properties of the low molecular weight polyhydroxybutyrate (LMWPHB) and LMWPHB plasticized polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) are studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis, wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), polarized optical microscope (POM), mechanical, and biodegradation tests. The results of DSC, WAXD, and POM indicate that LMWPHB has a lower glass transition temperature (T g), crystallinity, crystallization rate, melting temperature (T m), and crystal size than PHB due to its much smaller molecular weight. The tensile strength, T g, T m, crystallinity, crystallization rate, and thermal stability of LMWPHB plasticized PHB decrease, while the flexibility and biodegradation rate increase with the increasing content of the added LMWPHB. It is confirmed that LMWPHB can be used to improve the brittleness and control the biodegradation rate of PHB. 相似文献

The thermal behavior of poly(1,3-phenyl-1,4-phenyl)-4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazole has been investigated using different scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TG). Processes are studied for this thermally stable polymer that take place between 200 and 500°C. While the polycondensation reaction product in powder from appeared to be partially crystalline, films prepared by casting from a formic acid solution appeared to be completely amorphous. A thermal treatment between Tg(~ 270°C) and Tm(~ 430°C) can introduce crystallinity in the films because of the polymer's ability to cold crystallize. The cold crystallization temperature Tc seems to be dependent on the preparation history of the solid polymer phase. Thermal annealing of the films just below Tg does not introduce crystallinity but inhibits subsequent cold crystallization at higher temperatures. Crystallization upon cooling from the crystalline melt has not been observed either. At temperatures just above the crystalline melting point the polymer starts to decompose in an exothermic reaction. 相似文献

Summary: Semi crystalline and amorphous poly(lactic acid) (PLA) thin films exhibit different glass transition temperature and behaviour, as revealed by ellipsometry. For semi-crystalline poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) thin film (with crystalline content between 40 and 60%), the glass transition temperature (Tg) is found to decrease below a film thickness of 50 nm. This depression was interpreted in term of disentenglement effect which is likely to occur upon confining the amorphous PLA phase near a non interacting surface. New results performed on non completed films, i.e. isolated objects, also reveal the lower transition temperature, thus underlying the importance of the entanglement state of the polymer chains on their mobility. For amorphous PLA thin film, obtained from the L and D copolymer, two distinct glass transitions were observed, with the highest Tg attributed to the presence of some nano-phase domains, formed by a possible cooperation of the D and L blocks to form stereocomplexes sequences, within the film. Furthermore, if these Tg remained constant as film thicknesses decrease down to 50 nm, they were also found to slightly decrease for isolated objects, thus supporting the importance of the entanglement hypothesis on the glass transition. 相似文献

New plasticization ways based on low molecular plasticizers from citrates family were investigated to improve the ductility of poly(lactide) (PLA). Grafting reactions between anhydride-grafted PLA (MAG-PLA) copolymer with hydroxyl-functionalized citrate plasticizer, i.e. tributyl citrate (TbC), were so-carried out through reactive extrusion. TributylO-acetylcitrate (ATbC) was used as a non-functionalized reference. Both plasticizers drastically decreased the Tg of PLA. However, the grafting reaction of TbC into MAG-PLA revealed a shift of PLA Tg toward higher values. After 6 months of aging, no phase separation was observed. However, plasticizer leaching was noticed in the case of PLA/ATbC materials, leading to the shift of Tg toward lower temperatures. In contrast, no major leaching phenomenon was noticed in PLA/TbC and PLA/MAG-PLA/TbC blends, indicating that the mobility restriction derived from the hydrogen bonding that can occur between PLA and TbC as well as the grafting reaction of TbC into MAG-PLA enabled to reduce leaching phenomena. 相似文献

Compatibility and phase structure of binary blends of poly(lactic acid) and glycidyl methacrylate grafted poly(ethylene octane) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This work study is the compatibility, phase structure, and component interaction of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and glycidyl methacrylate grafted poly(ethylene octane) (GMA-g-POE denoted as mPOE) blend by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), respectively. All the binary blend compositions exhibit two distinct glass transition temperatures corresponding to the mPOE-rich and PLA-rich phases, respectively. Moreover, these two peaks approach each other with increasing mPOE content, indicating partial compatibility between the PLA and mPOE. Chemical reactions between the end carboxyl groups of the PLA and epoxy groups of the mPOE are considered as the driving force of the enhanced compatibility. They lead to an increase in viscosity of the blends and a decrease in the structural symmetry of PLA. This result brings about a decrease in the spherulite growth rate and the degree of crystallinity. Glass transition temperature (Tg) depression of mPOE is attributed to the negative pressure imposed on the dispersed rubber phase, resulting from differential contraction due to the thermal shrinkage mismatch upon cooling from the melt state. The negative pressure in the dispersed particles, in turn, would cause a dilational effect for the matrix ligament between the particles, and therefore increases the ductility and toughness of PLA. 相似文献

Poly(propylene adipate) (PPA) and poly(propylene isophthalate/adipate) (PPI-PPA) random copolymers of various compositions were synthesized in bulk and characterized in terms of chemical structure and molecular weight. Furthermore, the thermal behavior was examined by thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. All the polymers showed a good thermal stability. At room temperature they appeared as semicrystalline materials, except the copolymers containing 20 and 30 mol% of PI units: the main effect of copolymerization was a lowering in the amount of crystallinity and a decrease of melting temperature with respect to homopolymers. The crystalline phase of PPI and PPA was evidenced at high content of propylene isophthalate or propylene adipate units, respectively. Amorphous samples were obtained after melt quenching and an increment of Tg as the content of PI units is increased was observed. This behavior was explained as due to the stiff phenylene groups in the polymeric chain. The Wood equation was found to describe well Tg-composition data. Lastly, the presence of a rigid-amorphous phase was evidenced in the copolymers, differently from PPA homopolymer. 相似文献
