The Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Poly(lactic acid)/Hyperbranched Poly(ester amide) Blends
Melt blending poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and biodegradable hyperbranched poly(ester amide) (HBP) has been performed in an effort to toughen the PLA without compromising its biodegradability and biocompatibility. Thermal properties and mechanical properties of blends with different HBP content were investigated. The addition of HBP not only reduced the crystallinity from 30.99% to 18.58%, but also toughened PLA. With an increase in HBP content from 2.5% to 10%, the blend showed a slightly increased tensile strength and significantly increased elongation at break. The reasonable toughening mechanism was given too.
