Thermal and mechanical properties of chemical crosslinked polylactide (PLA)
Abstract
To improve the thermal stability and mechanical properties of PLA, crosslinking was introduced via chemical treatment of the melt by adding small amounts of crosslinking agent triallyl isocyanurate (TAIC) and dicumyl peroxide (DCP). A series of crosslinked PLA materials with different gel fraction and crosslink density were prepared. The crosslinked PLA samples were characterized by fourier transform infra-red spectrometry (FTIR). The thermal and mechanical properties of samples were also investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), tensile testing and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The results showed that the crosslinking of PLA started at a low content of either TAIC or DCP, resulting in a decrease of crystallinity and a significant improvement of the thermal degradation initiation and completion temperatures, which indicated better thermal stability than neat PLA. Crosslinking was also responsible for the improved tensile modulus and tensile strength.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
