Bacterially synthesized poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanate) (PHBH) has attracted much attention as biodegradable plastics and potential biomaterials. However, the crystallization rate of PHBH is very low, which limits its application in plastic field. Herein, oxalamide compounds (OXA(n)) with a formula of C6H5NHCOCONH(CH2)(5)NHCOCONHC6H5 (n = 2, 4, 8, 12) were tailor-made as nucleators to improve the crystallization behaviors of PHBH. The effect of aliphatic spacer length of OXA(n), i.e., -(CH2)(n)- on the nucleation behavior was investigated. The OXA(n) would assemble into shish-like superstructures and PHBH crystals preferred to grow on the surfaces of the shish. The crystallization rate of PHBH/OXA(n) blends increased with the spacer length of OXA(n) up to n = 8 and then leveled off, which trend was consistent with the nucleation activity (Psi) and the nucleation constant (K-g) of the OXA(n). Meanwhile, the OXA(n) increased the nuclei density of the PHBH while inhibited its secondary crystallization, resulting in a superior and steady mechanical performance of PHBH materials. This work provides a scientific approach to design the optimal structure of OXA(n) as nucleators for PHBH materials, which may broaden the application range of PHBH materials. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd.
