摘要

In the present work

(3-thiopropyl)polysilsesquioxane SSQ-SH was introduced into a polylactide. Thermal and mechanical characterization was carried out

as well as a rheology test. The formation of spherulite structures was observed. Particularly noteworthy is the fact that SSQ-SH significantly improves the impact strength of the composite.

Abstract

Vario

us sectors of the industry are searching for new materials with specific requirements

providing improved properties. The study presents novel composite materials based on polylactide that have been modified with the organosilicon compound

(3-thiopropyl)polysilsesquioxane (SSQ-SH). The SSQ-SH compound is a mixture of cage structures and not fully condensed random structures. The composite materials were obtained through injection moulding. The study includes a comprehensive characterization of the new materials that analyze their functional properties

such as rheology (MFR)

mechanical strength (tensile strength

Charpy impact strength)

and thermal properties. SEM microscopic photos were also taken to analyze the microstructure of the samples. The addition of a 5% by-weight organosilicon compound to polylactide resulted in a significant increase in MFR by 73.8% compared to the neat polymer. The greatest improvement in impact strength was achieved for the 5% SSQ-SH/PLA composite

increasing it by 32.0 kJ/m

compared to PLA

which represents an increase of up to 187%. The conducted research confirms the possibility of modifying the properties of the polymer by employing organosilicon compounds.
