Synthesis of a biodegradable epoxy-based terpolymer for simultaneously enhancing mechanical and thermal properties of poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)/poly(lactic acid) blends
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) have complementary physical and chemical properties, but the interface compatibility of PBAT/PLA blends is not ideal, which leads to its poor mechanical properties. To solve the problem of unsatisfactory mechanical properties caused by insufficient compatibility, a biodegradable epoxy-based terpolymer was designed herein and prepared for the interface modification of PBAT/PLA blends. Using styrene (St), 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA) and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) as free radical reaction monomers, the St-HDDA-GMA terpolymer (SHG) with the conversion rate of 70.3 % and epoxide value of 0.351 mol/100g was obtained under optimizable polymerization conditions. SHG-filled PBAT/PLA blend was prepared by a melt blending method using SHG as the reactive compatibilizer. The results showed that SHG could effectively improve the interfacial compatibility of PBAT/PLA blends by in-situ covalent bonding. Compared with neat PBAT/PLA, the tensile strength and elongation at break of 0.7 wt% SHG-filled PBAT/PLA blend were enhanced by about 48.2 % and 215.6 %, respectively. The rheological properties and melt flow index tests showed that the epoxy group participated in the chain expanding reaction of PLA and PBAT, which improved the interface bonding force and interface entangling of the blend. Moreover, the SHG-filled PBAT/PLA blend presents an island-like structure, in which the spherical particles of the PLA phase are of small size and are uniformly distributed within the PBAT phase.
