Abstract

Stereocomplex-type polylactide (SC-PLA) consisting of alternatively arranged poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) and poly(D-lactide) (PDLA) chains has gained a good reputation as a sustainable engineering plastic with outstanding heat resistance and durability, however its practical applications have been considerably hindered by the weak SC crystallizability. Current methods used to enhance the SC crystallizability are generally achieved at the expense of the precious bio-renewability and/or bio-degradability of PLAs. Herein, we demonstrate a feasible method to address these challenges by incorporating small amounts of poly(D,L-lactide) (PDLLA) into linear high-molecular-weight PLLA/PDLA blends. The results show that the incorporation of the atactic PDLLA leads to a significant enhancement in the SC crystallizability because its good miscibility with the isotactic PLAs makes it possible to greatly improve the chain mixing between PLLA and PDLA as an effective compatibilizer. Meanwhile, the melt stability (i.e., the stability of PLLA/PDLA chain assemblies upon melting) could also be improved substantially. Very intriguingly, SC crystallites are predominantly formed with increasing content and molecular weight of PDLLA. More notably, exclusive SC crystallization can be obtained in the racemic blends with 20 wt% PDLLA having weight-average molecular weight of above 1×105 g/mol, where the chain mixing level and intermolecular interactions between the PLA enantiomers could be strikingly enhanced. Overall, our work could not only open a promising horizon for the development of all SC-PLA-based engineering plastic with exceptional SC crystallizability but also give a fundamental insight into the crucial role of PDLLA in improving the SC crystallizability of PLLA/PDLA blends.
