Kinetics Of

In this work, the crystallization kinetics of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) matrix included with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) grafted silica (PEG-g-SiO2) nanoparticles and bare SiO2 were systematically investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized light optical microscopy (PLOM) method. PEG-g-SiO2 can significantly increase the crystallinity and crystallization temperature of PEO matrix under the non-isothermal crystallization process. Pronounced effects of PEG-g-SiO2 on the crystalline morphology and crystallization rate of PEO were further characterized by employing spherulitic morphological observation and isothermal crystallization kinetics analysis. In contrast to the bare SiO2, PEG-g-SiO2 can be well dispersed in PEO matrix at low P/N (P: Molecular weight of matrix chains, N: Molecular weight of grafted chains), which is a key factor to enhance the primary nucleation rate. In particular, we found that the addition of PEG-g-SiO2 slows the spherulitic growth fronts compared to the neat PEO. It is speculated that the interfacial structure of the grafted PEG plays a key role in the formation of nuclei sites, thus ultimately determines the crystallization behavior of PEO PNCs and enhances the overall crystallization rate of the PEO nanocomposites.

In this work, microporous membrane biomaterials based on high weight molecular polylactide (PLA) and low molecular weight poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) using rapid solvent evaporation method were prepared and investigated. The effect of PEG segments added on the thermal and degradation behaviors was studied. According to the results, produced PLA/PEG biomaterial has lower glass transition temperature (Tg)in comparison with neat PLA. It was also found that the degradation rates of the PLA/PEG biomaterials were significantly increased with adding of PEG, which explained by increasing hydrophilic groups. For better porous fixation, CL-blocked polyisocyanate (CL-bp), which was synthesized from reaction of isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) with dimethylol propionic acid (DMPA) and Trimethylolpropane (TMP) followed by addition of caprolactam (CL), were introduced. The microporous forms were observed by the scanning electron microscope (SEM), which showed the mean diameters of prepared PLA/PEG microporous were around 10μm.
