Abstract
Polylactic acid (PLA), as a green functional polymer, has been useful in various coating applications. However, due to the low mechanical strength and thermal stability of PLA, it needs to be improved in order to expand its application areas. In this work, a series of polylactic acid (PLA) nanocomposite films were prepared through introducing polydopamine-modified mica (PDA@MICA) as a self-assemble nanofiller to enhance its mechanical and thermal properties. The results demonstrated that PLA/PDA@MICA shows excellent mechanical properties. Tensile tests showed that PLA/PDA@MICA exhibits a 58.3 % increase in tensile strength and a 16.8 % increase in Young's modulus compared to pure PLA. Meanwhile, thermal performance testing shown the introduction of PDA@MICA led to an increase in crystallinities (Xc = 24.78 %). And the thermal decomposition temperature of PLA/PDA@MICA film (374 °C) was slightly higher than that of PLA film (367 °C). The simultaneous improvement of the mechanical and thermal properties was attributed to the formation of hydrogen bonds between PLA and PDA@MICA. In addition, the parallel arrangement of PDA@MICA and PLA macromolecular chains forms a unique "brick and mortar" structure in the coating, which enhances the mechanical properties of PLA/PDA@MICA composite coatings. This study reports a successful approach to simultaneously address the drawbacks of PLA, specifically its low thermal stability and mechanical strength, thereby promoting its widespread application in the coatings industry.

Analysis of the degradation and crystallization behavior during the thermal degradation of poly(lactic acid)/modified hectorite nanocomposites films by simultaneous rheology and FTIR technology. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 270:132403. [PMID: 38754660 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132403] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024]
Abstract
This study presents the synthesis of Hec-g@PS through the innovative surface modification of hectorite via photocatalytic atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP). Then, PLA/Hec-g@PS nanocomposites films was prepared with Hec-g@PS as additives by blown molding technique. Furthermore, the thermal degradation kinetics and crystallization kinetics during the thermal degradation of PLA based nanocomposites films were investigated with simultaneous rheology and FTIR technology. The findings indicated that the activation energies for PLA and PLA/Hec-g@PS were -54,702.12 J/mol and -107,963.47 J/mol, respectively, demonstrating that Hec-g@PS substantially influenced PLA thermal stability. Additionally, while the crystallization rates of PLA based films decreased with rising degradation temperatures. Quantum chemical calculations revealed that the mode of interaction between Hec-g@PS and PLA was mainly dominated by dispersion, supplemented by electrostatic and induced interactions of -22.2103 kcal/mol, -16.0779 kcal/mol and -5.4954 kcal/mol, respectively. The combination of crystallization kinetics and quantum chemical calculations further confirmed that Hec-g@PS promoted the alignment of PLA molecular chains due to the enhanced interaction force between them. Hec-g@PS functioned as a nucleating agent, facilitating PLA crystallization and effectively mitigated its thermal degradation. Hec-g@PS as a nucleating agent provides valuable insights into the potential application prospects of biodegradable materials, particularly in the fields of biomedicine and packaging.

Abstract
A comprehensive multiscale analysis was conducted to explore the effects of different ratios of these materials on its properties. The results show that KC played a crucial role in controlling solution viscosity and gel and sol temperatures. The dissolution time at high water temperatures primarily decreased with an increase in SA content. Higher KC and CS content increased tensile strength (TS) and elongation at break (ε), while also exhibiting better thermal stability. Water vapor transmission (WVT) and permeability (PV) initially decreased, then increased with the increase of SA and CS contents. Finally, an SA:KC:CS ratio of 1:3:2 showed optimal comprehensive properties, with a dissolution time of about 60.0 ± 3.8 s, TS of 23.80 ± 0.29 MPa, ε of 18.61 ± 0.34 %, WVT of 21.74 ± 0.62 g/m2·24h, and PV of 5.39 ± 0.17 meq/kg. Meanwhile, the SA:KC:CS edible food packaging only introduced minimal effects on food after dissolution, and the total bacterial count met regulatory standards.

Thermally-Activated Shape Memory Behavior of Biodegradable Blends Based on Plasticized PLA and Thermoplastic Starch. Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:1107. [PMID: 38675026 PMCID: PMC11054922 DOI: 10.3390/polym16081107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2024] [Revised: 04/03/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Biodegradable blends based on plasticized poly(lactic acid) PLA and thermoplastic starch (TPS) have been obtained. The influence of the PLA plasticizer as a compatibility agent has been studied by using two different plasticizers such as neat oligomeric lactic acid (OLA) and functionalized with maleic acid (mOLA). In particular, the morphological, thermal, and mechanical properties have been studied as well as the shape memory ability of the melt-processed materials. Therefore, the influence of the interaction between different plasticizers and the PLA matrix as well as the compatibility between the two polymeric phases on the thermally-activated shape memory properties have been studied. It is very interesting to use the same additive able to act as both plasticizer and compatibilizer, decreasing the glass transition temperature of PLA to a temperature close to the physiological one, obtaining a material suitable for potential biomedical applications. In particular, we obtain that OLA-plasticized blend (oPLA/TPS) show very good thermally-activated capability at 45 °C and 50% deformation, while the blend obtained by using maleic OLA (moPLA/TPS) did not show shape memory behavior at 45 °C and 50% deformation. This fact is due to their morphological changes and the loss of two well-distinguished phases, one acting as fixed phase and the other one acting as switching phase to typically obtain shape memory response. Therefore, the thermally-activated shape memory results show that it is very important to make a balance between plasticizer and compatibilizer, considering the need of two well-established phases to obtain shape memory response.

Effect of Graphene Oxide Localization on Morphology Development and Rheological and Mechanical Properties of Poly(lactic acid)/ethylene vinyl Alcohol Copolymer Blend Composites: A Comprehensive Study. Polymers (Basel) 2024; 16:1061.

Abstract
This study investigates the rheological, morphological, and mechanical properties of melt-processed polylactide/ethylene vinyl alcohol (70PLA/30EVOH) blend composites containing 0.25, 0.5, and 1 wt.% of graphene oxide (GO) nanoplates. Thermodynamic-based suggested the localization of nanoparticles in EVOH, SEM studies showed that the introduction of GO to the blend increased dispersed droplet size, which was attributed to the localization of GO within EVOH, as confirmed by TEM. The rheology results indicated a decrease in the elasticity for the composite containing 0.25 wt.% of GO compared to the neat blend, which was attributed to the sliding effect of the added GO nanoplatelets. However, samples containing higher amounts of GO nanoplatelets exhibited more excellent elasticity than the neat blend. The increased elasticity was suggestively attributed to the dominance of hydrodynamic interactions, the physical network of added nanoplatelets, and polymer/GO interactions over the sliding role of the GO nanoplatelets at higher loadings. In addition, the effect of the order of mixing was investigated, and the premixing of PLA and GO exhibited a decrease in the droplet radius compared to the neat blend. It was ascribed to the localization of GO nanosheets in the PLA and interface, which was confirmed by rheological results and mechanical assessments.

Abstract
Poly(L-lactic acid) (PLA) is an environmentally-friendly bioplastic with high mechanical strength, but suffers from inherent flammability and poor toughness. Many tougheners have been reported for PLA, but their synthesis usually involves organic solvents, and they tend to dramatically reduce the mechanical strength and cannot settle the flammability matter. Herein, we develop strong, tough, and flame-retardant PLA composites by reactive blending PLA, 6-((double (2-hydroxyethyl) amino) methyl) dibenzo [c, e] [1,2] oxyphosphate acid 6-oxide (DHDP) and diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) and define it PLA/xGH, where x indicates that the molar ratio of -NCO group in MDI to -OH group in PLA and DHDP is 1.0x: 1. This fabrication requires no solvents. PLA/2GH with a -NCO/-OH molar ratio of 1.02: 1 maintains high tensile strength of 63.0 MPa and achieves a 23.4 % increase in impact strength compared to PLA due to the incorporation of rigid polyurethane chain segment. The vertical combustion (UL-94) classification and limiting oxygen index (LOI) of PLA/2GH reaches V-0 and 29.8 %, respectively, because DHDP and MDI function in gas and condensed phases. This study displays a generalizable strategy to create flame-retardant bioplastics with great mechanical performances by the in-situ formation of P/N-containing polyurethane segment within PLA.

Abstract
How to effectively improve the poor interfacial adhesion between polylactic acid/poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PLA/PBAT) matrix and thermoplastic starch (TPS) is still a challenge. Therefore, this work aims to introduce a convenient method to enhance the performance of PLA/PBAT/TPS blend by melt reactive extrusion. Here, using 4,4'-methylene-bis(N,N-diglycidyl-aniline) (MBDG) containing four epoxy groups as a reactive compatibilizer, and respectively using 1-methylimidazole (MI) or triethylenediamine (TD) as a catalyzer, serial PLA/PBAT/TPS ternary bio-composites are successfully prepared via melt reactive extrusion. The results showed that, under the catalysis of organic base, especially MI, the epoxy groups of MBDG can effectively react with hydroxyl and carboxyl groups of PLA/PBAT and hydroxyl groups in TPS to form chain-expanded and cross-linked structures. The tensile strength of the composites is increased by 20.0 % from 21.1 MPa, and the elongation at break is increased by 182.4 % from 17.6 % owing to the chain extension and the forming of cross-linked structures. The molecular weight, thermal stability, crystallinity, and surface hydrophobicity of the materials are gradually improved with the increase of MBDG content. The melt fluidity of the composites is also improved due to the enhancement of compatibility. The obtained PLA/PBAT/TPS materials have the potential to be green plastic products with good properties.

Abstract
Solar-driven viscosity reduction of highly viscous crude oil has emerged as an environmentally friendly method to address large-scale oil spills. However, the challenge lies in the limited availability of sunlight during cloudy days and at night, which hinders the effectiveness of green advanced porous materials. This study developed all-weather-available advanced porous materials in the form of loofah-like structured porous frame composed of 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane/MXene/carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/sodium alginate (SA)/carboxymethyl cellulose sodium (NaCMC). MXene and CNTs formed a continuous and stable network that enabled PMCSCPs to rapidly reduce crude oil viscosity for all-day based on photothermal and electrothermal conversions. Additionally, loofah-like porous structure and oriented pipeline biomass skeleton endowed PMCSCPs with stable and rapid adsorption capacity and speed. Considering the complexity of the external environment and oily wastewater composition, we verified the separation performance of PMCSCPs for metal ions and dyes and the ice-breaking ability under icy conditions. PMCSCPs provided a novel approach to achieving clean, high-efficiency, all-day remediation of ultra-viscous crude oil. This "Three birds with one stone" approach is expected to be obtained from nature and used on a large scale, replacing conventional porous adsorbent materials.
