Stereoselective Crystallization and Specific Interactions in Polylactides

Sarasua, Jose-Ramon, Rodríguez, Nerea López, Arraiza, Alberto López, Meaurio, Emilio·2005·Macromolecules

Abstract

The stereoselective annealing conditions for polylactides to crystallize as α homocrystals ( T m = 180 °C) and/or higher melting temperature ( T m = 230 °C) η stereocomplex crystals are reported in this paper. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies provide evidence of the isothermal annealing conditions in which equimolar mixtures of optically pure poly( l -lactide) and poly( d -lactide) take exclusively the form α, exclusively the form η, or coexist as both α and η crystal polymorphs. Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy studies reveal a shift to lower wavenumbers in the C O stretching band of polylactides in the stereocomplex with regard to that in the homocrystal. This band shift is accompanied by similar displacements in the C−H spectral bands. These results are interpreted in terms of H-bonding forces causing specific CH 3 ···O C and C α H···O C interactions between both stereoisomers of polylactide. Molecular models support that the suggested hydrogen-bonding arrangement can be accommodated into the stereocomplex crystal lattice. The strength of the interactions has been calculated from both C O and C−H spectral regions, resulting in a mean value of 1.1 kcal/mol, close to that expected according to ab initio calculations.

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.
