Zhong-Hua Chang, Dong-Fang Wang, Yi-Yang Xu, et al. Structure and Morphology of Poly(
The hydrogen bonding interfacial interaction between PCL and PLA nanofibers modified by sodium hydroxide provides the driving force for the formation of the PLA/PCL heterogeneous shish-kebab structure. The heterogeneous structure provides a way to combine two poorly compatible polyester polymers.
In recent years
the hybrid shish-kebab structure with excellent physical properties and functionalities has attracted much attention because it provides a way of blending nanofibers with different properties into polymer matrix in a regular arrangement. It is often not easy to induce the formation of the hierarchically ordered structure for the semi-crystalline polymer in heterogeneous shish-kebab structure. A poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/poly(
ε
-caprolactone) (PCL) heterogeneous shish-kebab structure
i.e.
the PCL crystals periodically crystallized onto PLA nanofibers
was successfully created and the interfacial crystal morphology of the PLA/PCL heterogeneous shish-kebab structure was observed using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. NaOH aqueous solution was applied to modify the surface of the PLA nanofibers to produce adsorption sites and carboxyl groups. The total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) results demonstrated that the formation of the heterogeneous shish-kebab structure was mainly due to the hydrogen bonding interaction between the kebab and shish interface
and the growth process of the kebab crystals also promoted the crystallization of the shish fibers. This heterogeneous nanostructure of biodegradable polymers will have great applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.
