Abstract
Entropy is a universal concept across the physics of mixtures. While the role of entropy in other multicomponent materials has been appreciated, its effects in polymers and plastics have not. In this work, it is demonstrated that the seemingly small mixing entropy contributes to the miscibility and performance of polymer alloys. Experimental and modeling studies on over 30 polymer pairs reveal a strong correlation between entropy, morphology, and mechanical properties, while elucidating the mechanism behind: in polymer blends with weak interactions, entropy leads to homogeneously dispersed nanosized domains stabilized by highly entangled chains. This unique microstructure promotes uniform plastic deformation at the interface, thus improving the toughness of conventional brittle polymers by 1-2 orders of magnitude without sacrificing other properties, analogous to high-entropy metallic alloys. The proposed strategy also applies to ternary polymer systems and copolymers, offering a new pathway toward the development of sustainable polymers.

Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:4281. [PMID: 37959961 PMCID: PMC10650189 DOI: 10.3390/polym15214281] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2023] [Revised: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 10/27/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBH) has gained significant attention because of its biodegradability and sustainability. However, its expanded application in some fields is limited by the brittleness and low melt viscoelasticity. In this work, poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) was introduced into PHBH/poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) blends via melt compounding with the aim of obtaining a good balance of properties. Dynamic mechanical analysis results suggested that PPC and PHBH were immiscible. PVAc was miscible with both a PHBH matrix and PPC phase, while it showed better miscibility with PHBH than with PPC. Therefore, PVAc was selectively localized in a PHBH matrix, reducing interfacial tension and refining dispersed phase morphology. The crystallization rate of PHBH slowed down, and the degree of crystallinity decreased with the introduction of PPC and PVAc. Moreover, the PVAc phase significantly improved the melt viscoelasticity of ternary blends. The most interesting result was that the remarkable enhancement of toughness for PHBH/PPC blends was obtained by adding PVAc without sacrificing the strength markedly. Compared with the PHBH/PPC blend, the elongation at the break and yield strength of the PHBH/PPC/10PVAc blend increased by 1145% and 7.9%, respectively. The combination of high melt viscoelasticity, toughness and strength is important for the promotion of the practical application of biological PHBH.

Abstract
Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) are stimuli-responsive materials utilised in shape memory applications. The processability of these materials via advanced manufacturing is being paid increasing attention to advance their volume production on an industrial scale. Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is an extrusion-based additive manufacturing (AM) technique that offers the potential to address this. The critical challenge, however, is the rheological characteristics of LCEs that need to be tuned to achieve a facile processability through the extrusion-based method. In this work, new filaments of liquid crystalline thermoplastic elastomer (LCTPE) and its composites with lignin were made by the ternary system of LCE, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), and lignin. The results showed that TPU improves the melt flow index of the LCTPE system to approximately 10.01 g/10 min, while adding lignin further enhances the value of this index for the composites up to 21.82 g/10 min. The microstructural analysis indicated that the effective distribution of lignin and reduced domain size of the LCEs in the ternary blend contribute to the enhanced flowability of this filament through 3D printing. Samples of 3D-printed LCTPE and LCTPE/lignin composites maintained their shape memory characteristics via thermomechanical activation. Full shape recovery of the new LCTPE matrix and its composites with lignin was achieved in 39 s and 32 s at 130 °C, followed by 28 s and 24 s at 160 °C, respectively. The successful fabrication of LCTPE and LCTPE/lignin composite samples through 3D printing demonstrates a potential procedure for processing these shape memory materials using the FFF technique, and lignin offers a sustainable and cost-effective material solution that enhances the properties of this composite material.

Abstract
As an eco-friendly material, PLA was a desirable alternative to polyethylene and polypropylene films due to its biodegradability. The preferable melt strength of PLA-based materials was a key factor in ensuring its processing using extrusion blow. This paper focuses on the influence of interchain force and/or chain entanglement on the melt strength and ductility of PLA-based materials in recent years. In addition, the preparation of PLA-based materials via physical blending or reactive processing was also summarized. The blending of PLA with a flexible heteropolymer, driven by the interchain force and/or chain entanglements, were characterized as a practicable method for toughening PLA-based materials. Also, the restructuring of PLA chains, by branching based on chain entanglement, was suitable for increasing chain entanglements in PLA matrix, yielding satisfactory melt strength and ductility. This review aims to elucidate the relationship between interchain forces and/or entanglement with the melt strength and ductility of PLA-based materials. An essential and systematic understanding of the tailoring melt strength and rheological properties of PLA by interchain forces and/or entanglement was apt to improve and perfect the processing technology of the extrusion blow, and consequently improve the tensile strength and toughness of PLA films.

Abstract
Super-tough poly(lactic acid)/polycarbonate (PLA/PC) (50/50) blends with an excellent balance of stiffness, toughness, and thermal stability were systematically designed and characterized. Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was utilized as a novel, highly effective nonreactive interphase to promote PLA-PC phase compatibility. Partial miscibility of PMMA with both PLA and PC produced strong molecular entanglements across the PLA-PC phase boundary followed by an excellent phase adhesion. This was predicted from interfacial energy measurements and supported by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, morphological observations, and mechanical tests. Ternary PLA/PC/PMMA blends exhibited an exceptional set of stiffness, tensile and flexural strength, tensile and flexural ductility, and thermal stability together with improved impact strength compared with neat PLA and uncompatibilized PLA/PC blends. Addition of nonreactive polybutadiene-g-styrene-co-acrylonitrile (PB-g-SAN) impact modifier to the compatibilized blend resulted in further dramatic improvements in the dispersion state of PC and PMMA phase domains followed by the development of an interconnected structure of PC, PMMA, and PB-g-SAN domains in the PLA matrix. Such a network-like morphology, with rubbery particles percolated at the interface between the dispersed structures and surrounding PLA matrix, produced a tremendous increase in impact resistance (≈700 J/m) and tensile ductility (≈200% strain) while maintaining excellent stiffness (≥2.1 GPa). The combined effects of interfacial localization of impact modifier particles, network-like morphology (extended over the entire volume of the blend), and strong phase interactions between the components (due to mutual miscibility) are described to be responsible for super-tough behavior. The role of PMMA as an efficient interphase adhesion promoter in the toughened quaternary blends is also clarified. Impact fractography revealed multiple void formations, plastic growth of microvoids, and the formation of void-fibrillar structures around as well as inside the dispersed structures as the main micromechanical deformation processes responsible for massive shear yielding and plastic deformation of blends. Blends designed in this work offer remarkable improvements in tensile and flexural ductility, impact resistance, and heat deflection temperature compared with neat PLA resin. The overall characteristics of these blend systems are comparable and/or superior to those of several commercial thermoplastic resins.

Abstract
Polylactide (PLA) is one of the most attractive bioplastics as it can be produced from nontoxic renewable feedstock. However, its inherently poor toughness greatly limits its large-scale application. Cost-effectively toughening PLA without sacrificing its transparency remains a big challenge. We herein prepared an imidazolium-based poly(ionic liquid)-b-PLA copolymer (ILA) and ionomers as toughening agent for PLA through an integrative approach including continuous-monomer-feeding copolymerization, quaternization reaction, ion exchange and inter-ionomers blending. By blending PLA with the ILA and ionomers, we successfully obtained PLA materials with combined features including high toughness, good transparency and antibacterial properties. The effects of regulated ionomer composition and ILA compatibilizer on phase morphology, mechanical properties and transparency of the blends were systematically studied. The optimum formulation (PLA/E12/ILA 60/40/5) shows an impressive transmittance of 89-93 %, high impact strength of 45 kJ/m2 and elongation at break at 170 %, which are about 17 and 24 times that of pure PLA, respectively. More interestingly, the presence of imidazolium cation and anion groups endows the blends with attractive antibacterial properties. Ion exchange between ILA copolymer and the imidazolium-containing ionomeric system leads to a synergistic effect of compatibilization and efficient toughening, providing a new strategy for develop high performance PLA materials.

Abstract
The paper discusses the possibility of using in situ generated hybrid polymer-polymer nanocomposites as polymeric materials with triple shape memory, which, unlike conventional polymer blends with triple shape memory, are characterized by fully separated phase transition temperatures and strongest bonding between the polymer blends phase interfaces which are critical to the shape fixing and recovery. This was demonstrated using the three-component system polylactide/polybutylene adipateterephthalate/cellulose nanofibers (PLA/PBAT/CNFs). The role of in situ generated PBAT nanofibers and CNFs in the formation of efficient physical crosslinks at PLA-PBAT, PLA-CNF and PBAT-CNF interfaces and the effect of CNFs on the PBAT fibrillation and crystallization processes were elucidated. The in situ generated composites showed drastically higher values of strain recovery ratios, strain fixity ratios, faster recovery rate and better mechanical properties compared to the blend.

Abstract
A novel poly(epichlorohydrin-co-ethylene oxide)-g-poly(methyl methacrylate) copolymer (ECO-g-PMMA) was successfully synthesized from a commercially renewable elastomer via the ATRP method. The graft copolymer was investigated as a toughening agent and compatibilizer for polylactide (PLA) and PLA/ECO blends, respectively. Binary blending PLA with the copolymers (5-15 wt%) significantly improved the strain at break of PLA above 200% without a great strength loss. More importantly, the ternary PLA/ECO/ECO-g-PMMA copolymer blends exhibited a remarkably high impact strength of 96.9 kJ/m2 with non-broken behaviors. An interesting phase structure transformation from a typical sea-island structure to a unique quasi-continuous network structure was observed with varying the content of ECO-g-PMMA from 0 to 15 wt% in the ternary blends. The native toughening mechanism analysis indicated the synergistic toughening effect of the good interfacial adhesion and unique quasi-continuous morphology endowed the ternary blends with excellent mechanical performance.

Phase Structure and Properties of Ternary Polylactide/Poly(methyl methacrylate)/Polysilsesquioxane Blends. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:1033. [PMID: 33810345 PMCID: PMC8036706 DOI: 10.3390/polym13071033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2021] [Revised: 03/15/2021] [Accepted: 03/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Ternary blends of polylactide (PLA, 90 wt.%) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA, 10 wt.%) with functionalized polysilsesquioxanes (LPSQ-R) were obtained by solution blending. R groups in LPSQ containing hydroxyethyl (LPSQ-OH), methylglycolic (LPSQ-COOMe) and pentafluorophenyl (LPSQ-F5) moieties of different chemical properties were designed to modify PLA blends with PMMA. The effect of the type of LPSQ-R and their content, 1-3 wt.%, on the structure of the blends was studied with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) combined with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) and Raman spectroscopy. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and tensile tests also showed various effects of LPSQ-R on the thermal and mechanical properties of the blends. Depth-sensing indentation was used to resolve spatially the micro- and nano-scale mechanical properties (hardness and elastic behaviour) of the blends. The results showed clearly that LPSQ-R modulate the structure and properties of the blends.

Ternary blends from biological poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxyvalerate), poly(L-lactic acid), and poly(vinyl acetate) with balanced properties. Int J Biol Macromol 2021; 181:60-71. [PMID: 33771544 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2021.03.127] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2021] [Revised: 03/13/2021] [Accepted: 03/22/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Herein, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxyvalerate) (P34HB), poly (L-lactic acid) (PLA), and poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) were initially melt compounded to prepare a ternary blend with balanced properties. Further, the miscibility, phase morphology, thermal and crystallization behaviors, and rheological and mechanical properties of the blends were studied. The dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) results indicated that P34HB and PLA were partially miscible; however, PVAc showed full miscibility with PLA and P34HB. PVAc would selectively disperse in the PLA phase when considering low content, whereas it would gradually diffuse into the P34HB phase with the increasing PVAc concentration. A phase-separated morphology was observed for all the blends using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the diameters of the dispersed phases increased with the increasing PVAc concentration. The crystallization of P34HB was enhanced by the presence of PLA alone and was restrained by the simultaneous incorporation of PVAc and PLA. The rheological properties of P34HB were significantly improved because of the PVAc phase. Unexpectedly, the toughness and stiffness of the P34HB in ternary blends clearly improved because of the incorporation of PLA and PVAc.

Abstract
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a relatively brittle polymer, and its low melt strength, ductility, and thermal stability limit its use in various industrial applications. This study aimed to investigate the effect of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and PMMA/silica hybrid particles on the mechanical properties, interfacial adhesion, and crystallization behavior of PLA/block acrylic elastomer. PLA/block acrylic elastomer blends exhibit improved flexibility; however, phase separation occurs between PLA and block acrylic elastomer domains. Valid time-temperature superposition (TTS) measurements of viscoelastic behavior were obtained and exhibited interfacial adhesion with the addition of PMMA or PMMA/silica in PLA/block acrylic elastomer blends. In particular, the phase separation temperature was increased by the incorporation of PMMA/silica hybrid particles, which suggests a potential role for these particles in improving the phase stability. In addition, PMMA inhibits crystallization, while PMMA/silica acts as a nucleating agent, thus increasing the crystallization rate and crystallinity degree.

Abstract
In this study, a highly efficient flame-retardant bioplastic poly(lactide) was developed by covalently incorporating flame-retardant DOPO, that is, 9,10-dihydro-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide. To that end, a three-step strategy that combines the catalyzed ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of L,L-lactide (L,L-LA) in bulk from a pre-synthesized DOPO-diamine initiator, followed by bulk chain-coupling reaction by reactive extrusion of the so-obtained phosphorylated polylactide (PLA) oligomers (DOPO-PLA) with hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), is described. The flame retardancy of the phosphorylated PLA (DOPO-PLA-PU) was investigated by mass loss cone calorimetry and UL-94 tests. As compared with a commercially available PLA matrix, phosphorylated PLA shows superior flame-retardant properties, that is, (i) significant reduction of both the peak of heat release rate (pHRR) and total heat release (THR) by 35% and 36%, respectively, and (ii) V0 classification at UL-94 test. Comparisons between simple physical DOPO-diamine/PLA blends and a DOPO-PLA-PU material were also performed. The results evidenced the superior flame-retardant behavior of phosphorylated PLA obtained by a reactive pathway.

Abstract
Poly (lactic acid) or polylactide (PLA) is a commercial biobased, biodegradable, biocompatible, compostable and non-toxic polymer that has competitive material and processing costs and desirable mechanical properties. Thereby, it can be considered favorably for biomedical applications and as the most promising substitute for petroleum-based polymers in a wide range of commodity and engineering applications. However, PLA has some significant shortcomings such as low melt strength, slow crystallization rate, poor processability, high brittleness, low toughness, and low service temperature, which limit its applications. To overcome these limitations, blending PLA with other polymers is an inexpensive approach that could also tailor the final properties of PLA-based products. During the last two decades, researchers investigated the synthesis, processing, properties, and development of various PLA-based blend systems including miscible blends of poly l-lactide (PLLA) and poly d-lactide (PDLA), which generate stereocomplex crystals, binary immiscible/miscible blends of PLA with other thermoplastics, multifunctional ternary blends using a third polymer or fillers such as nanoparticles, as well as PLA-based blend foam systems. This article reviews all these investigations and compares the syntheses/processing-morphology-properties interrelationships in PLA-based blends developed so far for various applications.

Abstract
Particulate matter (PM) pollution is a serious concern for the environment and public health. To protect indoor air quality, nanofiber filters have been used to coat window screens due to their high PM removal efficiency, transparency and low air resistance. However, these materials have poor mechanical property. In this study, electrostatic induction-assisted solution blowing was used to fabricate polylactide stereocomplex (sc-PLA), which served as reinforcement to enhance the physical cross-linking point to significantly restrict poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) molecular chain motion and improve the mechanical properties of sc-PLA/PMMA nanofibers. Moreover, the introduction of sc-PLA led to the formation of thick/thin composite nanofiber structure, which is beneficial for the mechanical property. Thus, sc-PLA/PMMA air filters of ~83% transparency with 99.5% PM2.5 removal and 140% increase in mechanical properties were achieved when 5 wt % sc-PLA was added to PMMA. Hence, the addition of sc-PLA to transparent filters can effectively improve their performance.

Abstract
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) has become a "material of choice" in biomedical applications for its ability to fulfill complex needs that typically include properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, mechanical strength, and processability. Despite the advantages of pure PLA in a wider spectrum of applications, it is limited by its hydrophobicity, low impact toughness, and slow degradation rate. Blending PLA with other polymers offers a convenient option to enhance its properties or generate novel properties for target applications without the need to develop new materials. PLA blends with different natural and synthetic polymers have been developed by solvent and melt blending techniques and further processed based on end-use applications. A variety of PLA blends has been explored for biomedical applications such as drug delivery, implants, sutures, and tissue engineering.
