摘要

Abstract

The fully biodegradable polymer blends remain challenges for the application due to their undesirable comprehensive performance. Herein

remarkable combination of superior mechanical performance

bacterial resistance

and controllable degradability is realized in the biodegradable poly(L-lactide)/poly(butylene succinate) (PLLA/PBSU) blends by stabilizing the epoxide group modified titanium dioxide nanoparticles (m-TiO

) at the PLLA-PBSU interface through reactive blending. The m-TiO

can not only act as interfacial compatibilizer but also play the role of photodegradation catalyst: on the one hand

binary grafted nanoparticles were

in situ

formed and stabilized at the interface to enhance the compatibility between polymer phases. As a consequence

the mechanical properties of the blend

such as the elongation at break

notched impact strength and tensile yield strength

were simultaneously improved. On the other hand

antibacterial and photocatalytic degradation performance of the composite films was synergistically improved. It was found that the m-TiO

incorporated PLLA/PBSU films exhibit more effective antibacterial activity than the neat PLLA/PBSU films. Moreover

the analysis of photodegradable properties revealed that that m-TiO

nanoparticles could act as a photocatalyst to accelerate the photodegradation rate of polymers. This study paves a new strategy to fabricate advanced PLLA/PBSU blend materials with excellent mechanical performance

antibacterial and photocatalytic degradation performance

which enables the potential utilization of fully degradable polymers.
