Crystallization, thermal and mechanical behavior of oligosebacate plasticized poly(lactic acid) films

Abstract

ObstractThe biodegradable aliphatic oligoester oligo(trimethylene separate) (OTS) was synthesized by polycondensation and used to plasticize poly(lactic acid) (PLA). Casting films of PLA and PLA/OTS with concentrations of 1, 5 and 10 wt.% were prepared, and these films were characterized by thermal analyses, crystallinity, rheology and mechanical tests. DSC revealed the decrease in the T g of PLA films with addition of the oligomer and a partial immiscibility. Addition of OTS to PLA slightly decrease the thermal stability as well as increase the degree of crystallinity of these films. Dynamic-mechanical analyses of casting films showed that the PLA/OTS system presented lower storage modulus than PLA and mechanical test revealed an increased in the elongation at break for PLA films containing the oligoester. The results make possible to conclude that the oligomer synthesized from bio-based monomers acts as a plasticizer of PLA increasing the PLA ductility.

“…In the case of E2MP ligand, a sharp peak was observed at 1731 cm −1 , which can be assigned to C=O stretching. The sharp peak at 1177 cm −1 corresponds to C−O stretching vibrations of C−C(C=O)‐O group . The C−H stretching vibrations were observed at 2983 and 2936 cm −1 .…”

“…It can be observed that all PBSe spectra showed similar absorption peaks. The absorptions at 2930 cm −1 and 2852 cm −1 were assigned to the symmetrical and the antisymmetric stretching vibration of methylene groups in the polyester structures (−CH 2 ), respectively [ 50 , 51 ]. The intensity of these two bands was greater for the PBSe samples with a higher Se content in their composition.…”
