Properties of Poly(Lactic Acid) Blended with Natural Rubber-Graft- Poly(Acrylic Acid)

Article Preview

Abstract:

Poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) was grafted onto natural rubber (NR) to improve the compatibility of NR and poly(lactic acid) (PLA). Polymer blend between PLA and NR-g-PAA was prepared by an internal mixer. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), tensile testing, impact testing, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were employed to determine the functional group, mechanical properties and thermal properties of blends, respectively. Results showed that the addition of NR-g-PAA significantly improved the elongation, impact strength and thermal stability of blends. The P70N30 was the optimum composition to obtain improved mechanical properties of PLA.
