Isothermal Crystallization Behavior of PLA/PIL Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effect of Poly (ionic liquid) (PIL) on the crystallization of polylactide (PLA) has been investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry. The nonisothermal crystallization result showed that PIL enhanced the crystallization of PLA. The Avrami method was used to describe the isothermal crystallization behavior of PLA/PIL composites. The Avrami exponent (n) revealed that the PIL accelerated PLA crystallization through heterogeneous nucleation.
