Abstract:

The toughened poly(3⁃hydroxybutyrate⁃co⁃3⁃hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV)/polypropylene carbonate (PPC) blending films were prepared through solid⁃phase stretching and then characterized by using universal tensile testing machine, small⁃angle/wide⁃angle X⁃ray scattering instrument, SEM, and DSC. The PHBV/PPC blending films exhibited an increase in elongation at break by about 66 % and in tensile strength by 642.9 % at a stretching temperature of 55 ºC, a stretching rate of 300 mm/min, and a stretching ratio 3. The degree of orientation of the blending films was increased from 0.88 % to 38.96 % at a stretching ratio of 3. This effectively promotes the crystallization of PHBV and generates a positive effect on its durability of PHBV, resulting in more stable performance. The toughness of the unstretched blending film decreased by 94.8 %, whereas there was only a reduction by 46 % in the toughness of the blending film at a stretching ratio of 3.

Key words: poly(3?hydroxybutyrate?co?3?hydroxyvalerate), polycarbonate, solid?phase stretching, mechanical property
