Characterization of poly(lactic acid)s with reduced molecular weight fabricated through an autoclave process

Poly(lactic acids) (PLAs) with different molecular weights (MWs) were prepared by autoclaving a commercial PLA for different time periods. The harvested PLAs were characterized by different techniques. Gel permeation chromatography results showed that the MW of PLA decreased with increasing autoclaving time. The Mark–Houwink parameters for PLA in dichloromethane at 25 °C were determined for the first time. The melting endotherms, revealed by differential scanning calorimetry, were observed for the 60 and 120 min-autoclaved PLAs (cf. PLA60 and PLA120) but hardly detected for the original and 30 min-autoclaved PLA (PLA30). The PLA120 exhibited higher crystallinity than that of PLA60. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the activation energy for thermal degradation decreased from 186 kJ mol⁻¹ to 140 kJ mol⁻¹ for original PLA and PLA120. The hydrophilicity of the PLA increased, indicating higher number of COOH groups, with increasing autoclaving time, as revealed by the contact angle measurement. Rheological data showed that the complex viscosity and storage modulus of PLA decreased with increasing autoclaving time due to the decreasing MW. Unlike original PLA and PLA30, PLA60 and PLA120 exhibited Newtonian fluid behavior at all test frequencies.     

Synthesis,characterization of layered double hydroxide‐poly(methylmethacrylate) graft copolymers via activators regenerated by electron transfer for atom transfer radical polymerization and its effect on the performance of poly(lactic acid)

Layered double hydroxide‐poly(methylmethacrylate) (LDH‐PMMA) graft copolymers were prepared via activators regenerated by electron transfer for atom transfer radical polymerization. The results showed that the hydrophobicity of LDH‐PMMA was improved by the incorporation of hydrophilic groups. Moreover, poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/LDH‐PMMA nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending to enhance the performances of PLA. The crystallization and mechanical properties of the PLA/LDH‐PMMA nanocomposites were studied by differential scanning calorimetry, tensile testing, and polarized optical microscopy, respectively. Results of mechanical testing showed that the tensile strength, elongation at break, and impact strength of PLA/LDH‐PMMA nanocomposites were increased by 5.64%, 37.95%, and 49.70%, respectively, compared with PLA. The differential scanning calorimetry results indicated that LDH‐PMMA eliminated the cold crystallization of PLA matrix and improved the crystallinity of PLA by 37.26%. The polarized optical microscopy of PLA/LDH‐PMMA nanocomposites demonstrated that LDH‐PMMA increased the crystallization rate of PLA. It was also found that the rheological behaviors of the PLA nanocomposites were significantly enhanced. Based on these results, a new choice for modified LDHs was provided and used as a nucleating agent to improve the properties of PLA.     

Preparation and characterization of benzoyl‐hydrazide‐derivatized poly(lactic acid) and γ‐cyclodextrin inclusion complex and its effect on the performance of poly(lactic acid)

A nucleating agent, benzyl‐hydrazide‐derivatized poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and γ‐cyclodextrin inclusion complex (PLA‐IC‐BH), was synthesized through a series of reactions. Poly(lactic acid) and γ‐cyclodextrin inclusion complex (PLA‐IC) was first obtained by ultrasonic co‐precipitation, which was then subjected to carboxylation, acylation, and amidation using benzoyl hydrazine and thionyl chloride. The composition and structure of PLA‐IC‐BH was confirmed by ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X‐ray diffraction. PLA/PLA‐IC‐BH composites were prepared by melt blending and a hot‐press forming process. Mechanical properties, thermal stabilities, and crystallization behaviors of PLA/PLA‐IC‐BH samples were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized optical microscopy (POM), rheological analysis, and so on. Mechanical testing and thermogravimetric analysis showed that the tensile strengths, impact properties, and thermal stabilities of PLA/PLA‐IC‐BH composites were improved significantly compared to pure PLA and PLA/PLA‐IC. DSC results showed that crystallinity of PLA was increased from 5.17% to 38.93% after introduction of PLA‐IC‐BH. POM results showed that PLA‐IC‐BH acted as a nucleating agent for PLA and enhanced its crystallization rate. Rotational rheological behaviors of PLA/PLA‐IC‐BH demonstrated that incorporation of PLA‐IC‐BH increased the rigidity of the network structure of the PLA matrix. Compared to those of PLA, the maximum torque and apparent viscosity of PLA/PLA‐IC‐BH composites were increased by 55.56% and 25.59%, respectively. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Structure‐property relationship,rheological behavior,and thermal degradability of poly(lactic acid)/fulvic acid amide composites

Fulvic acid amide (FAA) was synthesized with fulvic acid (FA) and urea. The structure of FAA was characterized by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Poly(lactic acid)/fulvic acid amide (PLA/FAA) composites were prepared by melt blending and compression molding. The nucleation effect of FAA on PLA was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and polarized optical microscopy. Structure‐property relationship of PLA/FAA composites showed that FAA accelerated crystallization rate of PLA and improved toughness of PLA. Rotational rheological behavior of PLA/FAA composites showed that FAA increased the storage modulus of PLA. Capillary rheological analysis showed that the apparent viscosities of PLA composites were highly increased after the introduction of the FAA nucleating agent. Moreover, thermogravimetric analysis demonstrated that thermal degradability of PLA/FAA composites has been increased significantly compared with the neat PLA.     

Preparation and characterization of biodegradable poly(l-lactide)/poly(ethylene glycol) microcapsules containing erythromycin by emulsion solvent evaporation technique

In this work, the producing of a biodegradable poly(l-lactide) (PLA)/poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) microcapsule by emulsion solvent evaporation method was investigated. The effect of PEG segments added to the PLA microcapsules on the degradation, size distribution, and release behavior was studied. According to the results, PLA/PEG copolymer was more hydrophilic than PLA homopolymer, and with lower glass transition temperature. The surface of PLA/PEG microcapsules was not as smooth as that of PLA microcapsules, the mean diameters of prepared PLA and PLA/PEG microcapsules were 40 and 57 microm, respectively. And spherical forms were observed by the image analyzer and the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Drug release from microcapsules was affected by the properties of PLA/PEG copolymers determined by UV-vis spectra. It was found that the drug release rates of the microcapsules were significantly increased with adding of PEG, which explained by increasing hydrophilic groups.     

Crystallization and flame‐retardant properties of polylactic acid composites with polyhedral octaphenyl silsesquioxane

To develop environmental‐friendly and flame‐retarded polymer composites, bio‐based polylactic acid (PLA) was loaded with thermally stable polyhedral octaphenyl silsesquioxane (OPS). Pure PLA and PLA/OPS composites with the OPS of 1, 3, 5, and 10 wt% were prepared by extrusion and injection molding, respectively. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM), polarized optical microscope (POM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to analyze the dispersion of the OPS in the PLA matrix and the effects of OPS on the crystallization and thermal stability properties of PLA/OPS composites, respectively. Limited oxygen index (LOI) and cone calorimeter (CONE) measurements were used to study flame retardancy of PLA and PLA/OPS composites. In order to study the flame‐retardant mechanism, the char residues were investigated by SEM, Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). TGA‐FTIR was used to analyze the gaseous products of their thermal decomposition. The results show that the OPS particles were submicron in the PLA and could increase the crystallization rate of PLA and form small‐sized secondary α‐form crystalline compared with the pure PLA spherulite. The PLA and OPS decomposed individually in the PLA/OPS composites by TGA. According to the LOI tests, the PLA with the OPS loading exhibited very small reduction of LOI. However, the CONE tests indicated that the OPS could improve the flame retardancy of the PLA by means of low peak heat release rate and average heat release rate. It was obtained that the degree and type of the PLA crystalline for the pure PLA and PLA/OPS affect their flame retardancy. In the max thermal decomposition stage of PLA and PLA/OPS, their gaseous products were similar; at high temperatures, the PLA/OPS produced simple and clear gaseous products of PLA with solid SiO₂ in the gas phase.     

Electrospun hyperbranched polylactic acid–modified cellulose nanocrystals/polylactic acid for shape memory membranes with high mechanical properties

The polylactic acid (PLA) nanofiber membranes reinforced with hyperbranched PLA‐modified cellulose nanocrystals (H‐PLA‐CNCs) were prepared by electrospinning. The H‐PLA‐CNCs and the nanofiber membranes were researched by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The outcomes embodied that the cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) could be successfully improved by the hyperbranched PLA, which would offer powerful CNCs/matrix interfacial adhesion. Thus, the mechanical and shape memory properties of PLA can be improved by adding the H‐PLA‐CNCs. In particular, when the addition of H‐PLA‐CNCs was 7 wt%, the tensile strength and an ultimate strain of PLA composite nanofiber membranes was 15.56 MPa and 25%, which was 228% and 72.4% higher than that of neat PLA, respectively. In addition, the shape recovery rate of the PLA/5 wt% H‐PLA‐CNCs composite nanofiber membrane was 93%, which was 37% higher than that of neat PLA. We expected that this present study would provide unremitting efforts for the development of more effective approaches to prepare biology basic shape memory membranes with high mechanical properties.     

Crystallization,Mechanical and Flame-retardant Properties of Poly(lactic acid) Composites with DOPO and DOPO-POSS

Poly(lactic acid)(PLA) composites with 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide(DOPO) and DOPOcontaining polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane(DOPO-POSS) were prepared via melting extrusion and injection molding. The crystallization, mechanical, and flame-retardant properties of PLA/DOPO and PLA/DOPO-POSS were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), X-ray diffraction(XRD), tensile testing, thermogravimetric analysis(TGA), limiting oxygen index(LOI),and cone calorimeter test. The DSC results showed that the DOPO added could act as a plasticizer as reflected by lower glass transition temperature and inhibited crystallization of part of the PLA; the DOPO-POSS acted like a filler in the PLA matrix and slightly improved the crystallinity of the PLA matrix. The XRD and DSC analyses indicated that the PLA composites by cold molding injection were amorphous, and the PLA composites following a heat treatment in an oven at 120 °C for 30 min achieved crystallinity. All the PLA and its composites after heat treatment had improved mechanical properties. The thermogravimetric analysis(TGA) tests showed that the PLA,DOPO and DOPO-POSS decomposed separately in the PLA/DOPO and PLA/DOPO-POSS, respectively. The cone calorimeter tests offered clear evidence that addition of the DOPO-POSS resulted in an evident reduction of 25% for the peak of heat release rate(p-HRR).It was also confirmed that the crystalline flame-retardant PLA composites after heat treatment had better flame retardant properties than the amorphous PLA composites prepared by the cold molding.     

In vitro degradation behaviour of non-porous ultra-fine poly(glycolic acid)/poly(l-lactic acid) fibres and porous ultra-fine poly(glycolic acid) fibres

The in vitro degradation behaviour of non-porous ultra-fine poly(glycolic acid)/poly(l-lactic acid) (PGA/PLA) fibres and porous ultra-fine PGA fibres was investigated. The non-porous ultra-fine PGA/PLA fibres were prepared by electrospinning of a PGA/PLA solution in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol and the porous ultra-fine PGA fibres were obtained from them via selective removal of PLA with chloroform. Since PLA has a lower degradation rate than PGA, the degradation rates of the ultra-fine PGA/PLA fibres decreased with increasing content of PLA. The porous ultra-fine PGA fibres were degraded in vitro in the order of non-porous PGA > P-PGA/PLA(90/10) > P-PGA/PLA(70/30) > P-PGA/PLA(50/50) > P-PGA/PLA(30/70) due to autocatalytic hydrolysis.     

PAA对PLA流变性能和热性能的影响

通过熔融共混法制备了一系列的PLA/PAA共混物,考察了PLA/PAA共混体系的流变行为和热性能(结晶行为和热降解行为).FTIR测试结果证实PLA与PAA分子链之间形成了氢键网络.动态剪切流变测试和DSC测试均表明共混体系的流变行为和冷结晶行为会随着PAA含量的改变而改变,这可能是由于PLA与PAA的氢键作用受到PAA含量的影响.另外,DSC测试证实共混体系中的氢键网络还会受到试样热历史的影响.当PAA含量较低(低于5 wt%)时,PLA/PAA共混体系中PAA与PLA熔体两相的相分离不严重,使得PAA与PLA分子链能够较大限度地接触而形成较强的氢键作用,因而可以明显减缓增塑作用对黏度降低的影响.
