The effect of a bio-based macromolecule, poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT), on the crystallization and foaming behavior of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was evaluated. The crystallization kinetics results show that the addition of PBAT improved the crystallization of PLA by increasing the overall crystallinity and enhancing the crystal morphology of PLA. The massive crystallization zones may have prevented the escape of foaming gases to the surrounding area; the expansion ratio of the PLA foams increased from 4.87 to 10.94. Thus, a novel macromolecular crystallization nucleating agent for PLA was developed; the effect of the crystallization of PLA on its foaming behavior was also investigated. A high expansion ratio and finer cellular structure of PLA foam were obtained by optimizing the PBAT content.
