Interfacial Percolation Behavior of the Nanocomposites Based on Biopolymer Blend

1.Introduction In recent years, biodegradable polymers, such as polylactide (PLA) and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), have generated great interest as one kind of the most innovative materials being developed for wide range of applications due to their thermoplastic, biodegradable and biocompatible properties1. Several technologies, such as copolymerization2 or reinforced with nano-filler3 have been developed to improve and/or control the physical properties of these two biodegradable polymers. Another effective strategy is to blend them with many selected polymers1. This is also a convenient way to obtain new materials with high performance. Among those blends, PLA-blend-PCL materials are very interesting because the glassy PLA with high degradation rate shows better tensile strength, while the rubbery PCL with much slower degradation rate shows better toughness. The property complementarily between these two polymers is very important to their blend because one can control the performance by adjusting the blending ratio and preparation conditions to meet various applications.
