Melt Rheology of High l-Content Poly(lactic acid)
Abstract
The melt rheology of linear poly(lactic acid)s (PLA) characterized by a high content of the l -form of the monomer is comprehensively investigated. Measurements of dynamic, steady, and transient shear viscosities are presented. Extensional data on PLA are presented for the first time and show a strong strain hardening behavior. The Cox−Merz relationship is obeyed over a particularly wide range (roughly 3 decades of shear rate). Results for high molecular weight samples suggest that the plateau modulus is approximately 5 × 10 5 Pa. In addition, the zero shear viscosity, η 0, for these materials is found to roughly scale with the expected 3.4 power vs molecular weight. The transient shear results are satisfactorily predicted using a truncated form of the K−BKZ constitutive equation and a set of Maxwell modes ( G k, λ k ) derived from the dynamic spectra. However, to capture the observed extensional hardening, an additional long time relaxation mode must be added to the spectrum. Time sweep measurements demonstrate that the melt stability of the polymer precludes long time measurements. Chemical changes manifest themselves in a lack of adherence to the principle of time−temperature superposition. It is shown that stabilization of poly(lactic acid) using tris(nonylphenyl)phosphite is possible and leads to a material that is thermorheologically simple within the experimentally assessable rates of deformation.

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.
