Abstract: | Poly(lactic acid), PLA, was chemically modified with maleic anhydride (MA) by reactive extrusion. The effect of this modification on molar mass (MM) and acidity was assessed by means of size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and titration, respectively. PLA MM decreased in the presence of MA solely and of MA and peroxide. Reduction in MM was monitored by the increase in acidity. PLA blends containing poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) were prepared through different mixing protocols, PLA/PBAT, PLA-g-MA/PBAT and PLA/PBAT/MA/peroxide (PLA/PBAT in situ). SEC results and rheological properties revealed reduction in MM and viscosity of the modified blends. PLA/PBAT presented increase in MM and bimodal MM distribution. The calculated interfacial tension was significantly lower for the modified blends, despite the lower average particle area of PLA/PBAT. Surprisingly, the modified blends presented higher yield strength than that predicted by the rule of mixtures, which might indicate interfacial reactions. |
