Abstract

The poly(para-dioxanone) (PPDO)/poly poly (dl-lactide) (PDLLA) blends containing various contents of compatibilizer (0, 1, 3, 5, 10 %) were prepared by solution co-precipitation, which were dissolved in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) to form 10 % wt/vol solutions. Then in vitro hydrolytic degradation of PPDO/PDLLA blends containing poly (dl-lactide-co-para-dioxanone) (PLADO) as the compatibilizer was studied by the changes of weight loss, water absorption, thermal properties, surface morphology and mechanical properties of samples in phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.44) at 37 °C for 8 weeks. During the degradation, the weight loss and water absorption increased significantly for all blends, whereas hydrolysis rate of blends varied with the blend composition. The samples’ glass transition temperature decreased notably, while the degrees of crystallinity increased. Compared with uncompatibilized PPDO/PDLLA blends, PPDO/PDLLA blends with compatibilizer exhibited higher hydrolysis rate. The results suggested that the compatibilizer (PLADO) accelerated the hydrolysis rate of PPDO/PDLLA blends during the degradation.
