Dynamic Mechanical Analysis Investigations of PLA-Based Renewable Materials: How Are They Useful?

Abstract: Interest in renewable polymers increased exponentially in the last decade and in this context poly(lactic acid) (PLA) became the leader mainly for practical reasons. Nevertheless, it is outstanding also from a scientific point of view, because its thermal and morphological properties are offering challenging new insights. With regard to dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), PLA does not have the classical behavior of a thermoplastic polymer. Often, overlapping events (enthalpic relaxation, glass transition and cr… Show more

“…Notably, the highest stiffness was attained with the addition of 2 wt% Joncryl in PLA as compared to 1 wt% Joncryl. This can be attributed to the increase of the molecular weight as discussed previously and as reported in another study as well [58]. It is also believed that the addition of Joncryl in PLA, and especially 2 wt%, has an effect on the adhesion strength between the 3D-printed layers, as seen in the previous sections from the marginal increase of the mechanical tests, as well as from the obtained DMA results.…”

“…The rapid decrease of the storage modulus at about 60-70 °C is attributed to the glass transition of the PLA [60]. Besides, the increase of storage modulus observed at 90-110 °C is associable to the cold crystallization of PLA [61]. All the filled samples show, as expected, an increase of the modulus value, as compared to their unfilled counterparts, due to the reinforcing effect of the well-dispersed nanofillers [62].…”

“…However, the introduction of TPU affects the mobility of molecular chains, which makes the originally tightly arranged molecular chains loose and leads to the decrease of the initial E' of TPU/PDLA/PLLA‐220 48 . And as the processing temperature continues to decrease, the loosely arranged molecular chains do not need higher energy to overcome, which leads to the further decrease of the initial E' of TPU/PDLA/PLLA‐200 and TPU/PDLA/PLLA‐180 49 …”
