Abstract:

Abstract. The effect of uniaxial stretching of different stretching ratio at 80 °C, 90°C, 100°C, 110 °C and 120°C on the crystallization behavior of polylactic acid (PLA) film was investigated by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD) and polarizing microscope (POM). The results showed that the crystallinity of PLA film was improved via uniaxial tensile orientation and increased with increasing stretch ratio, and the crystallinity of PLA film reached the maximum under the conditions of 90°C and stretching ratio 300%. Stretched PLA films show α crystal form. The spherulites deform to ellipsoids after stretching.
