Abstract EN
A poly(ε-caprolactone-co-L-lactide) copolyester was synthesized and employed to toughen poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) by reactive melt blending in the presence of an epoxy-based chain extender.
The effects of chain extension reaction and copolyester content on properties of PLLA-based blends were studied.
The chain extension reaction reduced crystallinity and melt flow index of PLLA/copolyester blends.
Meanwhile the copolyester blending improved the crystallinities of the chain-extended PLLA up to 20 wt% copolyester.
The phase compatibility between PLLA matrix and dispersed copolyester phases was enhanced by the chain extension reaction.
The impact strength of chain-extended PLLA increased with the contents of copolyester and chain extender.
