Melting and Crystallization Behaviors of Biodegradable Polymers Enzymatically Coalesced from Their Cyclodextrin Inclusion Complexes

Wei, Min, Shuai, Xintao, Tonelli, Alan E.·2003·Biomacromolecules

Abstract

Inclusion complexed (IC) and coalesced biodegradable poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL), poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA), and their diblock copolymer (PCL-b-PLLA) were achieved by forming ICs between host alpha-cyclodextrin(alpha-CD) and guest PCL, PLLA, and PCL-b-PLLA, followed by removing the alpha-CD host with an amylase enzyme. FTIR spectra of the coalesced polymers reveal that the host alpha-CD can be completely removed, without polymer degradation, by treatment with an amylase enzyme. The melting and crystallization behavior of these CD-IC treated polymers, which are crystallizable, biodegradable, and bioabsorbable, are investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized optical microscopy. Results show that coalescence increased the crystallinities of the homopolymers but decreased that of the diblock copolymer. The Avrami exponent (n), derived from both isothermal and nonisothermal crystallization models for homo-PCL and -PLLA and the PCL and PLLA blocks in the diblock copolymer samples coalesced from their ICs, is close to 4, indicating homogeneous crystallization, whereas crystallization of the blocks in the as-synthesized diblock copolymer yields an Avrami exponent around 3, indicating heterogeneous crystallization. All of these results demonstrate that the PCL and PLLA homopolymers and blocks in the IC-coalesced samples are more readily and homogeneously crystallized than those in the as-synthesized samples or their physical blend, even though the level…

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • A detailed study of the crystallization kinetics and morphology of both blocks, and their dependence with composition in a wide range, has not been reported.

    “Although these systems have been previously evaluated 30 -35 and morphological studies have been previously performed by SAXS, 24,27,28 a detailed study of the crystallization kinetics and morphology of both blocks, and their dependence with composition in a wide range has not been reported, as far as we are aware.”

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.
