Enhancement of the properties of poly(L-lactide)/poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) blends by introduction of stereocomplex polylactide crystallites

Study on Compatibility of a Novel Cardanol-Based Compatibilizer in PLA/PBAT Blend

“…However, it was observed that the elongation at break was dramatically reduced to 159% for L/B/15LE. The suppressed tension deformation mainly contributed to the highest viscosity (Figure a) caused by branched and extended chains with the compatibilization of 15 wt % PLA- g -ECA, resulting in a decline in chain mobility . For the evolution of notched impact strength, it basically remained at approximately 12.5 kJ/m 2 for the compatibilized blend due to the unchanged phase morphology of the sea–island as discussed in the latter.…”

“…The suppressed tension deformation mainly contributed to the highest viscosity (Figure 4a) caused by branched and extended chains with the compatibilization of 15 wt % PLA-g-ECA, resulting in a decline in chain mobility. 38 For the evolution of notched impact strength, it basically remained at approximately 12.5 kJ/m 2 for the compatibilized blend due to the unchanged phase morphology of the sea−island as discussed in the latter. These results indicated that PLA-g-ECA was an efficient compatibilizer to raise the phase interaction, which could improve the toughness of the PLA/PBAT blend.…”

Super Toughened PLLA/PBAT Blends with Modified Phase Interface via Constructing Cocontinuous Structure with the Aid of Stereocomplex Crystallites Toward Preparation of a Fully Degradable Material

“…However, it was observed that the elongation at break of L/B/P/8D decreased to 203%, and it was dramatically reduced to 47% for L/B/P/12D. The decline in elongation at break was mainly attributed to the tension deformation was greatly suppressed by the constrained mobility of chains in L/B/P/12D with the highest complex viscosity . In short, an 8 wt % content of PDLA was found to be optimal for the L/B/P blend because the best comprehensive properties were realized with the notched impact strength of 77.3 kJ/m 2 and elongation at break of 203%.…”
