The inadequate rheological properties limit the film blowing process of biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA), thus hindering its potential application in environmentally friendly packaging films and mulch films. Herein, biodegradable polyethylene glycol (PEG) and d-lactide were used to synthesize three kinds of poly-d-lactic acid (PDLA)--PEG--PDLA (DPD) triblock copolymers, and their effects on stereocomplex (sc) structure formation and rheological properties of the composites were studied. The results showed that the poly l-lactic acid (PLLA)/DPD4k sample introduced the highest sc content, storage modulus, and complex viscosity value compared with PLLA/DPD2k and PLLA/DPD10k at the same loading condition, indicating that the PEG4k chains can better accelerate the formation of a sc network between DPD4k and the PLLA matrix. The introduction of 10 wt % DPD4k also resulted in about 38 times longer relaxation time and a strain-hardening behavior during the steady biaxial extension of PLLA. At last, the continuous film blowing process was successfully conducted in the PLLA/DPD4k composites, which acquired a stable blow-up ratio of 3.07. On the basis of the above results, the soft chain-grafted PDLA copolymer may provide a novel method for film blowing of biodegradable PLA.
流变性能不足限制了可生物降解聚乳酸(PLA)的吹膜工艺,从而阻碍了其在环保包装薄膜和地膜中的潜在应用。在此,使用可生物降解的聚乙二醇(PEG)和d-丙交酯合成了三种聚-d-乳酸(PDLA)-PEG-PDLA(DPD)三嵌段共聚物,并研究了它们对复合材料立构复合(sc)结构形成和流变性能的影响。结果表明,在相同负载条件下,与PLLA/DPD2k和PLLA/DPD10k相比,聚L-乳酸(PLLA)/DPD4k样品引入了最高的sc含量、储能模量和复数粘度值,表明PEG4k链可以更好地加速DPD4k与PLLA基体之间sc网络的形成。引入10 wt%的DPD4k还导致PLLA在稳态双轴拉伸过程中的松弛时间延长约38倍,并出现应变硬化行为。最后,在PLLA/DPD4k复合材料中成功进行了连续吹膜工艺,其获得了3.07的稳定吹胀比。基于上述结果,软链接枝的PDLA共聚物可能为可生物降解PLA的吹膜提供一种新方法。
