“Linear” aliphatic polyesters composed of two poly(l ‐lactide) arms attached to 1,3‐propanediol and “star‐shaped” ones composed of four poly(l ‐lactide) arms attached to pentaerythritol (2‐L and 4‐L polymers, respectively) with number‐average molecular weight (Mn) = 1.4–8.4 × 104g/mol were hydrolytically degraded at 37°C and pH = 7.4. The effects of the branching architecture and crystallinity on the hydrolytic degradation and crystalline morphology change were investigated. The degradation mechanism of initially amorphous and crystallized 2‐L polymers changed from bulk degradation to surface degradation with decreasing initial Mn; in contrast, initially crystallized higher molecular weight 4‐L polymer degraded via bulk degradation, while the degradation mechanism of other 4‐L polymers could not be determined. The hydrolytic‐degradation rates monitored by molecular‐weight decreases decreased significantly with increasing branch architecture and/or higher number of hydroxyl groups per unit mass. The hydrolytic degradation rate determined from the molecular weight decrease was higher for initially crystallized samples than for initially amorphous samples; however, that of 2‐L polymers monitored by weight loss was larger for initially amorphous samples than for initially crystallized samples. Initially amorphous 2‐L polymers with an Mn below 3.5 × 104g/mol crystallized during hydrolytic degradation. In contrast, the branching architecture disturbed crystallization of initially amorphous 4‐L polymers during hydrolytic degradation. All initially crystallized 2‐L and 4‐L polymers had δ‐form crystallites before hydrolytic degradation, which did not change during hydrolytic degradation. During hydrolytic degradation, the glass transition temperatures of initially amorphous and crystallized 2‐L and 4‐L polymers and the cold crystallization temperatures of initially amorphous 2‐L and 4‐L polymers showed similar changes to those reported for 1‐armed poly(l ‐lactide). © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The morphology and miscibility of commercial poly(lactide) (PLA)/poly(β‐hydroxybutyrate) (PHB, from 5 to 20 wt %) blends prepared by melt extrusion method, were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) observations. The results show that for all the studied blend contents, PLA/PHB blends are immiscible. The effects of PHB and talc on the nonisothermal cold crystallization kinetics of PLA were examined using a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at different heating rates. PHB acted as a nucleating agent on PLA and the addition of talc to the blend yielded further improvement, since significant increase in the enthalpy peak was observed for samples containing 10 wt % PHB and talc (from 0.5 to 5 phr). The crystallization kinetics were then examined using the Avrami–Jeziorny and Liu–Mo approach. The simultaneous presence of PHB and talc induced a decrease of the crystallization half time. The evolution of activation energies determined with Kissinger's equation suggests that blending with PHB and incorporating talc promote nonisothermal cold crystallization of PLA. The synergistic nucleating effect of PHB and talc was also observed on isothermal crystallization of PLA from the melt. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci., 2013 相似文献

Bionanocomposites were prepared using d ,l ‐lactide–δ‐valerolactone–d ,l ‐lactide triblock and unmodified and modified cellulose nanowhiskers (CNs) at different loadings (0, 2, 4, 8 wt %). Poly(δ‐valerolactone) chains were grafted on CNs for modification. These were characterized by various techniques. The broadening of OH (hydroxyl) stretching region and the presence of low‐intensity peaks at 1064 cm?1 for C? O/C? C stretching vibration and 1426 cm?1 for bending vibration of CH2 group, were evident in Fourier transform infrared spectra of the nanocomposites. The increase in crystallinity was noticed as the amount of nanowhiskers was increased. The nanowhiskers having the width in the range of 80–300 nm were uniformly dispersed in the triblock matrix. The tensile strength and modulus increased by 130% and 50% respectively at 8 wt % of filler loading. The storage modulus, loss modulus, complex viscosity, and tan δ values increased with increased filler loading. Further improvement in mechanical properties was observed with the modified CNs. The modulus mapping from atomic force microscopy confirmed the effective reinforcement behavior of the nanowhiskers. Scaffold fabrication using the bionanocomposite exhibited porous nature, having a homogeneous dispersion of CNs on the surface of the scaffold. The 3‐(4,5‐Dimethylthiazol‐2‐yl)‐2,5‐diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay confirmed the suitability of the composite material for scaffold application. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

A serials of fully bio‐based poly(ethylene dodecanedioate‐2,5‐furandicarboxylate) (PEDF) were synthesized from Dodecanedioic acid (DDCA), 2,5‐Furandicarboxylic acid (2,5‐FDCA), and ethylene glycol through a two‐step procedure consisted of transesterification and polycondensation. After their chemical structures were confirmed by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, their thermal, mechanical, and biodegradation properties were investigated in detail. Results showed that the chemical composition of PEDFs could be easily controlled by the feeding mole ratio of DDCA to FDCA and they possessed the characteristic of random copolyester with the intrinsic viscosity ranged from 0.82 to 1.2 dL/g. With the varied mole ratio of DDCA to FDCA, PEDFs could be changed from semicrystalline thermoplastic to the completely amorphous elastomer, indicated by the elongation at break ranged from 4 for poly(ethylene 2,5‐furandicarboxylate) to 1500% for amorphous PEDF‐40. The amorphous PEDF‐30 and PEDF‐40 showed satisfactory shape recovery after cyclic tensile test, which was the typical behavior for elastomer. Enzymatic degradation test indicated that all the PEDFs were biodegradable and the degradation rate was heavily affected by their chemical compositions. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

The reactive blends were prepared by the blending of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) with poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) in the presence of dicumyl peroxide (DCP) as a radical initiator in the melt state. The gel fractions, morphologies, crystallization behaviors, and rheological and mechanical properties of the reactive blends were investigated. Some crosslinked/branched structures were formed according to the rheological measurement and gel fraction results, and the crosslinked/branched structures played the role of nucleation site for the reactive blends. The PLA–PBS copolymers of the reactive blends acted as a compatibilizer for the PLA and PBS phases and, hence, improved the compatibility between the two components. Moreover, it was found that the reactive blends showed the most excellent mechanical properties as the DCP contents were 0.2 and 0.3 phr. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

This study is focused on the development and analysis of the thermal and structural behavior of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC)‐based bionanocomposites (BCs). Nanocrystalline cellulose was prepared by controlled acid hydrolysis of oil palm empty fruit bunch fibers. The resulting NCC was surface modified using TEMPO‐mediated oxidation and solvent exchange methods for surface functionalization and also to improve dispersion of fillers. Solvent exchange NCC reinforced polymer blend containing poly(lactic acid)/poly‐(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐3‐hydroxyvalerate) was prepared by using solution casting technique at various NCC loading percentages. The addition of NCC resulted in the improvement of structural, thermal, and mechanical properties of BCs as compared to that of the polymer blend. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

One of the most significant limitations to widespread industrial implementation of emerging bioplastics such as poly(lactic acid) and poly(hydroxyalkanoate) (PHA) is that they do not match the flexibility and impact resistance of petroleum‐based plastics like poly(propylene) or high‐density poly(ethylene). The basic goal of this research is to identify alternative, affordable, sustainable, biodegradable materials that can replace petroleum‐based polymers in a wide range of industrial applications, with an emphasis on providing a solution for increasing the flexibility of PHA to a level that makes it a superior material for bioplastic nursery‐crop containers. A series of bio‐based PHA/poly(amide) (PA) blends with different concentrations were mechanically melt processed using a twin‐screw extruder and evaluated for physical characteristics. The effects of blending on viscoelastic properties were investigated using small‐amplitude oscillatory shear flow experiments to model the physical character as a function of blend composition and angular frequency. The mechanical, thermal, and morphological properties of the blends were investigated using dynamic mechanical analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and tensile tests. The complex viscosity of the blends increased significantly with increasing concentration of PHA and reached a maximum value for 80 wt % PHA blend. In addition, the tensile strength of the blends increased markedly as the content of PHA increased. For blends containing PA at >50 wt %, samples failed only after a very large elongation (up to 465%) without significant decrease in tensile strength. The particle size significantly increased and the blends became more brittle with increasing concentration of PHA. In addition, the concentration of the PA had a substantial effect on the glass relaxation temperature of the resulting blends. Our results demonstrate that the thermomechanical and rheological properties of PHA/PA blends can be tailored for specific applications, and that blends of PHA/PA can fulfill the mechanical properties required for flexible, impact‐resistant bio‐based nursery‐crop containers. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

It is indispensable to investigate hydrolytic degradation behavior to develop novel (bio)degradable polyesters. Biobased and biodegradable copolyesters poly(butylene adipate‐co ‐butylene furandicarboxylate) (PBAF) and poly(butylene succinate‐co ‐butylene furandicarboxylate) (PBSF) with BF molar fraction (?BF) between 40 and 60% were synthesized in this study. The hydrolytic degradation of film samples was conducted in a pH 7.0 PBS buffer solution at 25 °C. Slight mass loss (1–2%) but significant decrease in intrinsic viscosity (35–44%) was observed after 22 weeks. The apparent hydrolytic degradation rate decreased with increasing ?BF and initial crystallinity. Meanwhile, PBAFs degraded slightly faster than PBSFs with the same composition. The ?BF and crystallinity increased slowly with degradation time, suggesting the aliphatic moiety and the amorphous region are more susceptible to hydrolysis. And high enough tensile properties were retained after hydrolysis degradation, indicating PBAF and PBSF copolyesters are hydrolytically degradable, with tunable hydrolytic degradation rate and good balance between hydrolytic degradability and durability. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

This study examines the isothermal treatment of poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) and poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐3‐hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) powders and films. The PHB and PHBV crystallinities were determined using X‐ray diffractometry, and shown to increase with temperature (130–150°C) and then decreased from 55% to 45% at 180°C. The crystal morphology of crystal planes (101) and (111) became sharp at a high temperature. The weight average molecular weight (Mw) of PHB decreased from 1,028,000 to 41,800 g/mol when heated at 180°C for 30 min. The molecular weight of PHB decreased more rapidly than that of PHBV with time. No peak signal was observed in gel permeation chromatography after heating at 150°C because the solubility of PHB changed with crystallinity. The thermal behaviors of PHB and PHBV were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. The roughness, contact angle, and surface morphology of PHB and PHBV films were also measured to determine the surface properties. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

The β‐CaSiO3 nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared using calcium carbonate from egg shells and silica as precursors. These NPs were incorporated (1–4 wt %) into bio‐based epoxy resin to fabricate nanocomposites. Thermal and mechanical tests were carried out on these composites. The results of dynamic mechanical analysis showed significant improvement in the storage modulus of 1 and 2 wt % composites. The thermomechanical analysis data revealed ~19 and 20% of reduction in coefficient of thermal expansion for 1 wt % of CaSiO3 before and after glass transition as compared to the neat epoxy system. Thermogravimetric analysis results also showed delayed thermal degradation of the composites by significant amounts (17–35°C) for 5% of decomposition, a proportional increase in residues corresponding to the loading concentrations. The flexure tests showed significant improvements in strength (17–36%), modulus (5–33%), and toughness for 1–4 wt % of reinforcement of β‐CaSiO3 NPs. Theoretical calculations of the reinforcement effect on the flexure modulus of the composites agree well with the experimental values. The scanning electron micrograph of the fractured surfaces revealed better interfacial interactions in the composites and enhancements in crack path deflections over the neat specimen. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Biodegradable blown films comprising of poly(lactide) (PLA) and poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) were produced using epoxy functionalized‐poly(lactide) (EF‐PLA) reactive modifiers for rheological enhancement and compatibilization. The epoxy groups on the EF‐PLA modifiers react with PBAT forming an in situ copolymer that localizes at the blend interphase resulting in compatibilization of the polymer blend components. The EF‐PLA modified polymer blends have improved melt strength and the resultant films showed better processability as seen by increased bubbled stability. This allowed for blown films with higher PLA content (70%) compared to the unmodified control films (40%). The static charge build‐up typically experienced with PLA film blowing was decreased with the inclusion of EF‐PLA yielding films with better slip and softness. The compatibilization effect of the EF‐PLA modifiers resulted in significant improvement in mechanical properties. For example, dart test performance was up to four times higher than the control, especially at higher PLA concentrations. Therefore, the rheological enhancement and compatibilization effects of the EF‐PLA reactive modifiers make them ideally suited to create high PLA content films. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.

Biodegradable polymer blends of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) and poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐3‐hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) were prepared with different compositions. The mechanical properties of the blends were studied through tensile testing and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis. The dependence of the elastic modulus and strength data on the blend composition was modeled on the basis of the equivalent box model. The fitting parameters indicated complete immiscibility between PBS and PHBV and a moderate adhesion level between them. The immiscibility of the parent phases was also evidenced by scanning electron observation of the prepared blends. The thermal properties of the blends were studied through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The DSC results showed an enhancement of the crystallization behavior of PBS after it was blended with PHBV, whereas the thermal stability of PBS was reduced in the blends, as shown by the TGA thermograms. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

To fully explore the influences of saturated fatty acids (SFAs) on the properties of sweet‐potato‐starch (SPS)‐based films, five SFAs were chosen to add to SPS. The SPS‐based films were prepared by casting. The microstructure, mechanical, optical, water vapor barrier, and thermal properties of the films were investigated. The 2.0% (w/w, on the basis of starch) SFA significantly changed the SPS pasting characteristics in the peak viscosity, breakdown, and other feature point viscosity values as determined by a Rapid Visco Analyser. The amylose molecular weights decreased as measured by high‐performance size exclusion chromatography. A thermal study with differential scanning calorimetry suggested that the addition of SFA increased the onset temperature and peak temperature. Scanning electronic microscope (SEM) images showed a continuous and uniform structure in the films with SFA. The SPS–SFA composite films showed lower light transmission and elongation at break than the control. Compared with the control films, the addition of SFA increased the tensile strength and decreased the water vapor permeability of the films. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

In the present study, silver ions were incorporated into a poly‐(l ‐lactide) (PLA) matrix by a solvent casting technique using different solvents and glycerol as plasticizer. The effect of the different formulations on the morphology, thermal, mechanical and color properties were first evaluated. Additionally, a thorough study of the silver ions release to an aqueous environment was also monitored over time by anodic stripping voltammetry and correlated with the antimicrobial performance against S. enterica. The incorporation of silver contents of up to 1 wt % did not affect morphology, thermal or mechanical properties of the films. A sustainable, antibacterial effectiveness was found for the films in liquid medium and a breakpoint of 10–20 μg L?1 silver was established under the stated conditions, evincing silver ion releasing technologies may be applied to liquid environments while complying with current legislation. This study provides insight into the structure properties relationship of these antibacterial polylactide materials of significant potential in coating applications. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.

Biodegradable poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) blends and PLA/PBAT/Al2O3 nanocomposites were fabricated via solution blending. The influence of PBAT and Al2O3 content on the thermal stability, flexural properties, impact strength, and morphology of both the PLA/PBAT blends and the PLA/PBAT/Al2O3 nanocomposites were investigated. The impact strength of the PLA/PBAT/Al2O3 nanocomposites containing 5 wt% PBAT increased from 4.3 to 5.2 kJ/m2 when the Al2O3 content increased from 0 to 1 wt%. This represents a 62% increase compared to the impact strength of pristine PLA and a 20% increase compared to the impact strength of PLA/PBAT blends containing 5 wt% PBAT. Scanning electron microscopy imaging revealed that the Al2O3 nanoparticles in the PLA/PBAT/Al2O3 nanocomposites function as a compatibilizer to improve the interfacial interaction between the PBAT and the PLA matrix. 相似文献

The utilization of renewable resources for the preparation of new materials is an alternative option for reducing the high demand of fossil feedstocks. Vegetable oils are potential bioresources that are renewable and abundantly available. Triglyceride‐based vegetable oils, such as soybean, jatropha, linseed, sunflower, palm, castor, nahar seed, and canola oil, are being considered as precursors in the production of polymers. In this article, we attempt to summarize advancements in processes and technologies for the synthesis of polymers from various kinds of vegetable oils. The advantages and disadvantages of these biobased polymers with respect to traditional monomer‐based ones are also highlighted. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

We report the synthesis of a linear bio‐based polyurethane (bio‐PU) containing furan ring by using renewable polylactide copolymer diol and 2,5‐furandimethanol as a soft segment and chain extender, respectively, in which the reversible crosslinked covalent bonds between hard segments were incorporated via Diels–Alder (D‐A) reaction between the furan ring of the chain extender and bismaleimide (BM) crosslinker. By simply controlling the amount of BM, mechanical properties of the obtained crosslinked bio‐PUs (CBPUs) were varied widely. In particular, the CBPU100 sample shows the highest tensile strength of 10.8 MPa, Young's modulus of 193 MPa, and an elongation of 155%. The differential scanning calorimetry experiments verify the recycle property of the CBPUs by the D‐A/retro‐D‐A reaction at the proper temperature. The thermal recyclability and remolding ability of these materials are demonstrated by two kinds of polymer processing methods, i.e., solution casting and hot‐compression molding. The recycled CBPUs display almost identical elongation and slightly decreased tensile strength compared to the as‐synthesized samples. Furthermore, the CBPUs also exhibit excellent self‐healing ability. Therefore, the resulting CBPUs possess tunable mechanical properties, good thermal recyclability, re‐mending, and self‐healing ability, which makes the bio‐based materials more eco‐friendly. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The effect of the final melting temperature (Tf) on the crystallization of poly(l ‐lactide) (PLLA)/poly(d ‐lactide) (PDLA) was studied via a combination of differential scanning calorimetry, wide‐angle X‐ray scattering, polarized optical microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. We observed that a residual stereocomplex (SC) crystal induced the formation of SC crystals during cooling from a Tf (230°C) just above the melting peak of the SC crystals. On cooling from a Tf (240°C) just above the endset temperature of SC crystal melting [Tm(S)(E)], the possible order structure and the strong interchain interaction promoted the preferential crystallization of SC crystals; this enhanced the formation of α crystals. During cooling from a Tf (≥250°C) far above Tm(S)(E), the crystallization peaks of α and SC crystals converged. The FTIR results indicated that the residual SC crystals, possible ordered structure, and interchain interactions in the melt might have been the key factors for the different crystallization of PLLA/PDLA. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Attempts were carried out to enhance the surface hydrophilicity of poly(L ‐lactide), that is, poly(L ‐lactic acid) (PLLA) film, utilizing enzymatic, alkaline, and autocatalytic hydrolyses in a proteinase K/Tris–HCL buffered solution system (37°C), in a 0.01N NaOH solution (37°C), and in a phosphate‐buffered solution (100°C), respectively. Moreover, its chain‐scission mechanisms in these different media were studied. The advancing contact‐angle (θa) value of the amorphous‐made PLLA film decreased monotonically with the hydrolysis time from 100° to 75° and 80° without a significant molecular weight decrease, when enzymatic and alkaline hydrolyses were continued for 60 min and 8 h, respectively. In contrast, a negligible change in the θa value was observed for the PLLA films even after the autocatalytic hydrolysis was continured for 16 h, when their bulk Mn decreased from 1.2 × 105 to 2.2 × 104 g mol?1 or the number of hydrophilic terminal groups per unit weight increased from 1.7 × 10?5 to 9.1 × 10?5 mol g?1. These findings, together with the result of gravimetry, revealed that the enzymatic and alkaline hydrolyses are powerful enough to enhance the practical surface hydrophilicity of the PLLA films because of their surface‐erosion mechanisms and that its practical surface hydrophilicity is controllable by varying the hydrolysis time. Moreover, autocatalytic hydrolysis is inappropriate to enhance the surface hydrophilicity, because of its bulk‐erosion mechanism. Alkaline hydrolysis is the best to enhance the hydrophilicity of the PLLA films without hydrolysis of the film cores, while the enzymatic hydrolysis is appropriate and inappropriate to enhance the surface hydrophilicity of bulky and thin PLLA materials, respectively, because a significant weight loss occurs before saturation of θa value. The changes in the weight loss and θa values during hydrolysis showed that exo chain scission as well as endo chain scission occurs in the presence of proteinase K, while in the alkaline and phosphate‐buffered solutions, hydrolysis proceeds via endo chain scission. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Plasticized poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) films were obtained by solvent casting. The effects of two different additives on several properties of PHB have been examined, utilizing tributyrin and poly[di(ethyleneglycol) adipate] (A). Based on changes in the glass transition temperature (Tg) and cold crystallization temperature of host PHB, the two components are miscible with PHB and they can act as plasticizers. Binary and ternary blends were obtained by adding both plasticizers separately or together, respectively. The effect of plasticizer addition on the optical transparency, water vapor permeability, and tensile properties of the films was studied. It was found that the blends remain transparent and water vapor permeability was maintained constant until a 20 wt % of plasticizer content. Plasticizing effect was corroborated and it depended on the plasticizer percentage. Binary blends had an increased plasticity, in concordance with Tg diminution of PHB. Although ternary blends presented Tg diminution, mechanical properties were not improved probaby due to strong interactions between plasticizers. Finally, binary and ternary blends presented enhanced properties, causing an increment on processability. A correct knowledge between the formulation of the film and the role played by each component could allow getting custom films. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.
