Biodegradable CPPC/PBS/PLA blends with enhanced adhesive properties by in situ compatibilization
摘要
Hot melt adhesives are utilized in a variety of industries because to their solvent-free, strong adhesion and rapid curing. With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, biodegradable hot melt adhesives have received attention. Herein, chlorinated poly(propylene carbonate) (CPPC)/poly(butylene succinate) (PBS)/poly(lactic acid) (PLA) blends were prepared using diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) as reactive compatibilizer. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) demonstrated that adding PLA improved the thermal stability of the blends. From rheological tests, the melt elasticity and viscosity of the blends at 170 ℃ were enhanced after PLA was added. The tensile strength of CPPC/PBS/PLA/MDI blends reached 47.9 MPa as 32 wt% of PLA was added. When PLA content was 16 wt%, the blends exhibited high adhesion strength (13.97 MPa), which was much higher than that of common commercial products. In addition, the enzymatic degradation tests showed that the blends had biodegradability. Therefore, CPPC/PBS/PLA/MDI blends have the potential to be used in biodegradable hot melt adhesives.
