摘要

Abstract

Biodegradable poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC)/epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) blends with different component ratios were prepared by melt blending to improve the performance of PPC. The phase morphology

thermal properties

rheological properties and mechanical properties of the blends were investigated in detail. SEM examination revealed good interfacial adhesion between PPC matrix and ESO. According to DSC and DMA

as the content of ESO increased

the glass transition temperature of the PPC component increased

indicating that there was a strong interfacial interaction between the PPC matrix and ESO. The interfacial interaction may be caused by ring-opening reaction between the hydroxyl end groups of PPC and the epoxy groups of ESO

which restricted the chain movement of PPC matrix. The disappearance of the epoxy groups in FTIR indicated that the interfacial interaction between the two phases was due to the ring-opening reaction between PPC and ESO. With the addition of ESO

the thermal stabilities were enhanced. With the increasing ESO content

the modulus gradually decreased. However

the strength at yield

the strength at break and the elongation at break were increased for the PPC/ESO blends

suggesting that the enhancement of the strength and toughness of PPC was achieved by the incorporation of ESO. The rheological measurement revealed that the complex viscosity

storage modulus and loss modulus of PPC were increased with the increasing ESO content at low frequency

which indicated that the addition of ESO enhanced the melt strength of PPC instead of plasticizing PPC.
