摘要

Abstract

Novel bio-based and biodegradable block copolymers were synthesized by " click” reaction between poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and polyamide 4 (PA4). Upon tuning the molar mass of PLLA block

the properties of copolymers and electrospun ultrafine fibers were investigated and compared with those of PLLA and PA4 blends. PLLA and PA4 were found incompatible and formed individual crystalline regions

along with reciprocal inhibition in crystallization. Electrospun fibers were highly hydrophobic

even if hydrophilic PA4 was the rich component. The crystallinity of either PLLA or PA4 decreased after electrospinning and PLLA-rich as-spun fibers were almost amorphous. Immersion tests proved that fibers of block copolymers were relatively homogeneous with micro-phase separation between PLLA and PA4. The fibrous structures of copolymers were different from those of the fibers electrospun from blends

for which sheath-core structure induced by macro-phase separation between homopolymers of PLLA and PA4 was confirmed by TEM

EDS

and XPS.
