Thermal Properties and Morphology of Poly(3‐Hydroxybutyrate‐co‐3‐Hydroxyvalerate) with Poly(Caprolactone Triol) Mixtures

Abstract: Summary: Aiming the development of new ductile and porous biodegradable materials, blends of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate), P(3HB-co-3HV), and polycaprolactone triol, PCL-T, with compositions varying from 100/0 to 70/30 P(3HB-co-3HV)/PCL-T (w/w), were obtained by casting. The phase behavior, the morphology and the crystallinity of P(3HB-co-3HV)/PCL-T blends were studied by differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction.

“…PCL Triol is a biodegradable, semi-crystalline, aliphatic polyester, with low molecular weight and melting point which has been investigated to a great extent as a biomaterial as well as in drug delivery applications [32][33][34]. One reason for this is the degradation products of PCL being naturally occurring metabolites in the human body with sutures composed of PCL being approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) [35].…”

“…One reason for this is the degradation products of PCL being naturally occurring metabolites in the human body with sutures composed of PCL being approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) [35]. Further to this, low molecular weight PCL Triols have been investigated for their potential to act as plasticizers [33,36,37] with Kanis et al [34] indicating that it is the three hydroxyl groups present which allow it to act as a plasticizer. Furthermore, PCL Triols due to their nature do not possess photopolymerizable terminal groups and therefore cannot crosslink on their own which is why PCL derivatives have been developed [38][39][40].…”

“…Após adição da cipermetrina a blenda analisada demonstrou alteração relacionada ao P(3HB), como a elevação da T c de 43 para 55 °C, enquanto que para a PCL foi possível observar a T g em -43 °C, a T c em -12 °C e decréscimo na T m de 55 para 43 °C. A partir dos dados de entalpia de fusão (ΔH 0 m ) para o polímero 100% cristalino, ΔH 0 m = 142 J g -1 para o P(3HB) [41] e ΔH 0 m = 146 J g -1 para o PCL [14] o grau de cristalinidade (α c ) dos componentes na blenda foi calculado (α c %), através da razão de ΔH m pelo ΔH 0 m . A cristalinidade de um polímero pode ser considerada como um "arranjo ordenado", uma repetição regular de estruturas atômicas moleculares.…”

“…Entre os materiais que podem ser empregados na microencapsulação, encontram-se os polímeros obtidos de fontes naturais como os polihidroxialcanoatos e os poliésteres sintéticos como as policaprolactonas [12,13] . Os polihidroxialcanoatos são poliésteres termoplásticos sintetizados por várias bactérias a partir de fontes renováveis [14] . O polímero mais importante deste grupo é o poli(3-hidroxibutirato) -P(3HB), biodegradável [15] com ponto de fusão entre 173-180 °C e temperatura de transição vítrea entre -5 e 5 °C [16,17] .…”

“…Biodegradable microsphere‐based controlled release systems have been widely studied for pesticides and drug‐delivery devices 1. Polyhydroxyalkanoates are thermoplastic polyesters synthesized from bacteria after fermentation with renewable resources 2. The most important polymer is poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB)], which has a melting point around 173–180°C and a glass‐transition temperature around −5 to 5°C 3…”
