Study on the Crystallization Behaviors of PLA and its Composites
the crystallization behaviors of polylactide (PLA) and its composites with different nucleating agents were investigated by differentical scanning calorimtery (DSC)
polarizing optical microscope (POM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Four different types of nucleating agents
including inorganic fillers (LAK and talc) and poly(D-lactide)(PDLA3.4 and PDLA6)
can effectively enhance the crystallization behavior of PLA. Furthermore
LAK was confirmed to be the most effective one
which significantly accelerated crystallization rate and increased the crystallinity. With the addition of 5wt% LAK into PLA
the half crystallization time (t
1/2
) can be decreased into two minutes and the crystallinity was increased to be 33%. Based on the Avrami’s equation
the inorganic fillers have no influence on the nucleation mechanism and geometry of crystal growth of PLA. However
with the addition of PDLA into the PLA matrix
the enhanced crystallization can be explained by the formation of PLA stereocomplex (PLA-SC)
which was found to have a much higher melting temperature and then acted as heterogeneous nucleating agents. XRD results indicated that the addition of nucleating agents had no influence on the crystalline structure
while the addition of PDLA significantly changed the crystal morphology according to the POM investigation.
