| Abstract: | The blends based on poly(lactic acid), (PLA) and polyacrylates (1:1 weight ratio) have been prepared by photopolymerization of three different multifunctional acrylate monomers (pentaerythritol triacrylate, pentaerythritol tetraacrylate and dipentaerythritol pentaacrylate) in matrix of linear PLA. The structure of these systems has been studied by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). It was found that the blends are highly crosslinked, rough, heterogeneous and some of them – semicrystalline. The effect of UV-irradiation on surface morphology of obtained mixtures was studied. The viscometry has been applied for measurements of changes of PLA molecular weight resulting of photodegradation. It was shown that blends are much more photostable than pure PLA. |
