Abstract:

To realize the functionalization of PLA, the crystallization behavior of the modified PLA was investigated intensively. CoFe2O4 nanoparticles coated with oleic acid were first prepared using a chemical co?precipitation method, and then the PLA/CoFe2O4 composites were prepared using a solution casting method. The composition and structure of CoFe2O4 particles and the composites were investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), transmission electron microscope(TEM), and X?ray diffractometer (XRD), and the crystallization behavior of the composites were analyzed using XRD, differential scanning calorimeter(DSC) and polarizing microscope(PLM). The results indicated that the CoFe2O4 particles (10~20 nm) were uniformly dispersed in PLA without obvious agglomeration. A small amount (≤1.5 %) of CoFe2O4 particles could generate a significant heterogeneous nucleation effect on the crystallinity of PLA, promoting its crystallization and improving its crystallinity. With a maximum increase of 207 %, the excessive CoFe2O4 particle content generated a hindering effect on the crystallization of PLA.
