Polylactic acid (PLA)/styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene (SEBS) composites were prepared by melt blending. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wide angle X-ray diffraction (WXRD) were used to characterize PLA and PLA/SEBS composites in terms of their melting behavior and crystallization. Curves from thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) illustrated that thermostability increased with SEBS content. Further morphological analysis of PLA/SEBS composites revealed that SEBS molecules were not miscible with PLA molecules in PLA/SEBS composites. The tensile testing for PLA and PLA/SEBS composites showed that the elongation at the break was enhanced, but tensile strength decreased with increasing SEBS content. L929 fibroblast cells were chosen to assess the cytocompatibility; the cell growth of PLA was found to decrease with increasing SEBS content. This study proposes possible reasons for these properties of PLA/SEBS composites.
通过熔融共混制备了聚乳酸(PLA)/苯乙烯-乙烯-丁烯-苯乙烯(SEBS)复合材料。采用差示扫描量热法(DSC)和广角X射线衍射(WXRD)对PLA和PLA/SEBS复合材料的熔融行为和结晶情况进行了表征。热重分析(TGA)曲线表明,热稳定性随SEBS含量的增加而提高。对PLA/SEBS复合材料的进一步形态分析表明,在PLA/SEBS复合材料中,SEBS分子与PLA分子不相容。对PLA和PLA/SEBS复合材料的拉伸测试表明,随着SEBS含量的增加,断裂伸长率提高,但拉伸强度降低。选择L929成纤维细胞来评估细胞相容性;发现随着SEBS含量的增加,PLA的细胞生长减少。本研究提出了PLA/SEBS复合材料这些性能的可能原因。
