Abstract EN
Cross-linked starch nanocrystals (CStN)/polylactic acid (PLA) nanocomposites were prepared by blending CStN and PLA, wherein CStN were homogeneously dispersed in the nanocomposites.
The structure and morphology of the nanocomposites were studied through FTIR, XRD, and SEM.
The results of mechanical test showed that the strength and toughness of the nanocomposites could be improved when the additive amount of hydrophobic CStN was 3% (weight ratio).
Meanwhile, the microstructures of tensile fracture surface showed that CStN were uniformly dispersed in PLA matrix, and the tensile fracture surface was presented as ductile fracture.
Moreover, water vapor permeability experiments illustrated that the addition of CStN reduced the water vapor permeability of PLA nanocomposites, so CStN have some resistance to water vapor.
Those above indicated that CStN have functions of reinforcement and toughness in PLA matrix; therefore, they are expected to be used as functional additives in polymer matrix such as PLA, polycaprolactone (PCL), and polybutylene succinate (PBS).
