摘要
Binary blends of poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) containing PLLA as major component were prepared by melt mixing. The two polymers are immiscible, but display compatibility, probably due to the establishment of interactions between the functional groups of the two polyesters upon melt mixing. Electron microscopy analysis revealed that in the blends containing up to 20% of poly(butylene terephthalate), PBT particles are finely dispersed within the PLLA matrix, with a good adhesion between the phases. The PLLA/PBT 60/40 blend presents a co-continuous multi-level morphology, where PLLA domains, containing dispersed PBT units, are embedded in a PBT matrix. The varied morphology affects the mechanical properties of the material, as the 60140 blend displays a largely enhanced resistance to elongation, compared to the blends with lower PBT content.
