Biodegradable poly-[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate-co-(R)-3-hydroxyhexanoates] (PHBHx) have been widely studied for their applications in potentially replacing petroleum-based thermoplastics. In this study, the effect of the high molecular weight (Mn = 3400) poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) blended in the films of PHBHx with different ratios of PEG was investigated using chemical FTIR imaging. Chemical IR images and FTIR spectra measured with increasing temperature revealed that PEG plays an important role in changing the kinetics of PHBHx crystallization. In addition, two-dimensional correlation spectra clearly showed that thermal properties of PHBHx/PEG blend film changed when the blending ratio of PHBHx/PEG were 60/40 and 50/50. Consequently, PEG leads to changes in the thermal behavior of PHBHx copolymers.

AbstractIn this study, plasticized polylactide (PLA) was prepared by blending PLA with high stereoregularity and poly(ethylene glycol-co-propylene glycol) (PEPG) in a batch wise mixer and pressed into films. The influence of annealing temperature on the thermal properties and tensile properties of quenched plasticized PLA was investigated by DSC, DMA and tensile tests. It was found that plasticized PLA after cold crystallization can keep its high flexibility with an elongation at break over 300% by choosing a proper annealing temperature. The difference of crystallization morphology formed at the different annealing temperature was thought as a possible reason for this result.

Both poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and poly(ethylene succinate) (PES) are biodegradable synthetic aliphatic polyesters with excellent biocompatibility. They are semicrystalline thermoplastic polymers processed by most conventional processing methods. In view of their complementary properties, blending PLLA with PES becomes a promising approach to improve the properties of PLLA without compromising its biodegradability. In the present work, fully biodegradable PLLA/PES blend(the weight ratio 90/10) was melt-blended in stainless steel chamber. The crystallization morphology was investigated using a polarized optical microscope (POM), showing more clear spherulites with typical crosslink extinction patterns and faster crystallization rate of PLLA in blend at the lower heating rate. It clearly showed that the addition of PES largely increased the crystallization rate of PLLA and improved the crystallinity of PLLA in blends.
