Abstract: Long-chain branching poly(lactic acid)(PLA)was prepared via electron beam irradiation of linear PLA,whose rhcological behavior was characterized using dynamic shear testing.At low-frequency region,the long-chain branching PLAexhibited higher elastic shear modulus G} and lower loss angle
tangent tan } than the corresponding linear one. The melt strength increased with increasing content of bifunctional monomer (BDDA)and/or radiation dose. It also found that poly(L-lactic acid)(PLLA) was more sensitive to electron beam than poly (D一lactic acid)(PDLLA).

Key words: poly(lactic acid, irradiation, long-chain branching, rhcology
