Abstract: | Asymmetric poly(L-lactide)/poly(D-Lactide) (PLLA/PDLA) blends were prepared by adding small amounts of PDLA into the PLLA matrix with the formation of stereocomplex crystallites (sc-crystallites). Rheological results indicated that the PLLA/PDLA melt at lower temperatures (m,sc, the melting temperature of the formed stereocomplex crystallites) underwent the transition from liquid-like to solid-like viscoelastic behaviors with increasing of the PDLA concentration, which was related to the sc-crystallites reserved in the melt of asymmetric PLLA/PDLA blends. Dissolution experiment indicated the presence of sc-crystallites network structure in the PLLA/PDLA blends, and the size of the sc-crystallite junction particles network increased with increasing of the PDLA concentration. DSC and POM studies indicated that the PDLA concentration and the thermal treatment temperature had a significant influence on the PLLA crystallizability behavior. At low thermal treatment temperature (<T m,sc ), reserved sc-crystallites showed an obvious promoting effect for PLLA crystallization. With increasing of the thermal treatment temperature, its promoting effect decreased due to melting of the sc-crystallites. This result suggests the sc-crystallites played two roles: nucleation sites and cross-linking points, and the two roles had a competitive relationship with change of the thermal treatment temperature and the PDLA concentration. |
