| الوصف: | Polymer blending offers an effective and economical approach to overcome the performance limitations of poly(lactic acid) (PLA). In this study, a series of copolymers poly(ethylene succinate- co -lactic acid) (PESL) were synthesized, featuring lactic acid (LA) contents that ranged from 20 to 86 wt %. This synthesis involved a one-pot industrial melt polycondensation process using succinic acid (SA), ethylene glycol (EG), and LA, catalyzed by titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTP). The goal was to produce a fully biobased copolymer expected to exhibit partial miscibility with pure poly(lactic acid) (PLA). To assess the capability of PESL copolymers in toughening PLA, we conducted tensile testing on PLA/PESL blends containing 15 wt % PESL. As a result, an elongation at break for the blends with 15 wt % loading of the copolymer PESL72 was directly enhanced to 250% with an ultimate strength of 35 MPa, compared to brittle PLA with less 10% tensile length. The morphological features of interfacial adhesion before and after tensile failure were measured by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A significant enhancement in the chain mobility of the PLA/PESL blends was further evidenced by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). These findings hold promise for the development of functional packaging materials based on PLA. The proposed copolymer design, which boasts strong industrial feasibility, can serve as a valuable guide for enhancing the toughness of PLA. |
