POE-g-MAH反应增容对TPU/PLA共混物界面状态和力学性能的影响

Effects of POE-g-MAH reactive compatibilization on the interfacial state and mechanical properties of TPU/PLA blends

  • 摘要: 聚乳酸(PLA)是一种应用前景广阔的生物可降解聚酯,但其热变形温度低、韧性差等问题制约了实际应用。采用热塑性聚氨酯(TPU)共混虽可增强韧性,但二者较差的相容性限制了共混材料性能的进一步提升与应用。为此,本研究系统探讨了马来酸酐接枝聚烯烃弹性体(POE-g-MAH)对TPU/PLA(质量比30/70)共混体系性能的改善作用。通过改变POE-g-MAH的添加量(0~10wt%),借助傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、X射线衍射(XRD)、差示扫描量热法(DSC)、热变形温度测试(HDT)及力学性能测试等方法,全面分析了共混物的微观形貌、结晶行为、热性能与力学性能。实验表明,POE-g-MAH可有效增强PLA与TPU的界面相容性,SEM图像显示共混物的相形态更均匀,力学性能也得到显著提升。本研究进一步揭示了共混物微观结构与宏观性能之间的关联,为今后TPU/PLA共混体系的界面设计与性能优化提供了理论依据与实践指导,对推动生物基塑料的高性能化应用具有积极意义。

     

    Abstract: Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable polyester with broad application prospects, however, its practical utilization is limited by a low heat deflection temperature and inherent brittleness. Although blending with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) can enhance toughness, the poor compatibility between the two phases greatly restricts the further enhancement of properties and applications of the blended material. Therefore, the effect of maleic anhydride-grafted polyolefin elastomer (POE-g-MAH) on the properties of TPU/PLA (30/70 by weight) blends was systematically investigated. The morphological structure, crystallization behavior, thermal properties, and mechanical performance of the blends were comprehensively investigated by varying the POE-g-MAH content (0–10wt%) and employing a suite of characterization techniques, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), heat deflection temperature (HDT) testing, and mechanical property measurements. The experimental results indicated that POE-g-MAH effectively enhanced the interfacial compatibility between PLA and TPU, as evidenced by a more homogeneous phase morphology observed in SEM images and a concomitant significant improvement in mechanical properties. Furthermore, this study establishes a clear correlation between the microstructure and macroscopic properties of the blends, thereby providing valuable theoretical insights and practical guidance for the future interface design and performance optimization of TPU/PLA blends. These findings contribute to advancing the application of high-performance bio-based plastics.
