Crystallization Behavior of PLA/PEG/Nucleating Agent Blends

Article Preview

Abstract:

A series of PLA blends were prepared by solution co-precipitation of polylactide (PLA), polyethylene glycol (PEG) and different crystallization nucleating agents. The crystallization behavior of blends was investigated by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that the crystallization ability of PLA blends was accelerated by plasticizer PEG, but the crystal structure of the obtained PLA blends was imperfect; the crystal structure and crystallization rate of the PLA blends were improved with the addition of nucleating agent, moreover, the crystallinity was 34.1% and 36.5%, respectively.
