Two types of random copolymer poly( d -lactide-co- ε -caprolactone) (PDLA- r -PCL) were added into poly( l -lactide) (PLLA) matrix by melt blending. The structure and property of PLLA/PDLA- r -PCL blends were investigated by thermal gravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy, wide-angle X-ray diffraction, and mechanical measurement. The results suggested that PDLA- r -PCL had little effect on the thermal property of PLLA. PDLA- r -PCL uniformly dispersed in PLLA matrix, which contributed to the improvement of stretching properties. During stretching at 25°C, with the increased content of PDLA- r -PCL, the elongation at break of PLLA increased and the strength decreased. The degree of decrease in fracture strength was related to the molecular structure of PDLA- r -PCL. When a small amount of stereocomplex crystals (SC) were formed in PLLA/PDLA- r -PCL blends, the strength was maintained or slightly enhanced even though the elongation at break of the blends was significantly improved by soft chains of PCL. It might be caused by the synergistic effects of SC crystals and plasticization of PCL chains.

Structure mediation and ductility enhancement of poly( l -lactide) by random copolymer poly( d -lactide-co- ε -caprolactone)
