Thermal crosslinking of polylactide/star-shaped polycaprolactone for toughening and resistance to thermal deformation

Chantiga Choochottiros

Summary: Crosslinking PLA with star-shaped polycaprolactone using dicumyl peroxide as a thermal initiator enhances its toughness and resistance to thermal deformation. The crosslinked films exhibit 1.2 times greater toughness compared to neat PLA and maintain shape stability without shrinkage or distortion at temperatures greater than the glass-transition temperature.

Summary: The addition of CNC/PBS composite enhanced the crystallization ability of the PLA/PBS blends and increased the crystallinity while decreasing crystal size of the PLA phase. This led to an increase in the Young's modulus and the flexural strength of the PLA/PBS composites without compromising tensile strength and impact strength.

Fabrication of low-density poly(lactic acid) microcellular foam by self-assembly crystallization nucleating agent

Yujing Tang et al.

Summary: In this study, branched PLLA was obtained by mixing linear PLLA with a chain extender, and the crystallization properties were further modified by adding self-assembled nucleating agent. The results showed that TMC-300 was an effective nucleating agent for branched PLLA, and its self-assembled fibers provided numerous nucleation sites for improved crystallinity. An appropriate content of TMC-300 could be self-assembled into a fiber network framework to regulate the crystallization behavior of branched PLLA and increase storage modulus. This study is important for low-density microcellular foaming and the preparation of high-quality microcellular foams.

Weiwei Cui et al.

Summary: Poly (lactic acid) (PLA) foams are a promising substitute for traditional petroleum-based foams due to their excellent biodegradability and biocompatibility.
