摘要
This work involved the development of a synthetic method to produce a novel bio-based triblock copolymer (PLA-NR-PLA) that consisted of poly(lactic acid) and natural rubber. The H-1 NMR analysis showed the presence of new ester linkages that resulted from a reaction between the carboxyl endgroups of the PLA prepolymer and the hydroxyl end-groups of the HTNR, together with the characteristics of the PLA endblock and the HTNR midblock. The M-n of PLA-NR-PLA as determined from the GPC agreed with that from the calculation. The DSC and TGA results also substantiated the formation of a block copolymer. PLA-NR-PLA acted as a toughening agent for PLA and as a compatibilizer in the PLA/NR blend. The PLA-NR-PLA was as good as a toughening agent as NR although the PLA-NR-PLA had a much lower molecular weight than the NR. The compatibilization effect was more dominant in the blend containing 10% rubber than in the blend that contained >10% rubber. The compatibilization effect was also observed in the morphology of the blend as a reduction in the rubber particle diameter. PLA-NR-PLA not only increased the impact strength of the blends, but also increased the elongation at break. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
