Park, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 13789–13798 Note générale : Chimie industrielle Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Kinetics Résumé : In this study, the non-isothermal cold crystallization and isothermal melt crystallization of both linear and long-chain-branched (LCB) polylactide (PLA) were investigated using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Talc was used as a nucleating agent to promote crystallization. The effects of chain branching on PLA’s cold crystallization kinetics at different heating rates and on PLA’s melt crystallization kinetics under different temperatures were studied by using Avrami analysis. The results showed that LCB-PLAs have faster cold and melt crystallization rates than those of linear PLA, since branched chains can play a role of nucleating site. Talc is a powerful nucleating agent, especially for linear PLA, either in cold crystallization or melt crystallization process. It was seen that addition of talc to PLA improves the crystallinity of PLA samples with more linear structure, more effectively because of its role of crystal nucleation. In PLA samples with more branched structure, talc has the least effect on crystallinity suggesting that the branched structure dominated crystallization already regardless of the presence of talc. Isothermal melt crystallization experimental results also showed that branched PLAs crystallized much faster than linear PLA and talc could increase the melt crystallization rate of linear PLA, but not that of PLA with a more branched structure.
