Morphology and properties of poly(lactic acid)/poly(butylene succinate)/ethylene propylene-diene rubber ternary blends
Abstract:
This work studied the phase morphology and properties of poly(lactic acid)
(PLA)/poly(butylene succinate) (PBS)/ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (EPDM) ternary
blends. The polymer blends were prepared by melt mixing using an internal mixer molded
by compression method. The weight ratios of PLA/PBS/EPDM ternary blends were
80/20/0, 80/15/5, 80/10/10, 80/5/15, and 80/0/20. The morphological analysis observed
the phase separation of PLA/PBS, PLA/EPDM and PLA/PBS/EPDM ternary blends and
showed the minor phase dispersed in PLA matrix phase. The domain size of EPDM phase
in PLA/PBS/EPDM ternary blends increased with the increase of EPDM contents. The
results of tensile properties showed that Youngs modulus of PLA/PBS (80/20) blends was
higher than that of PLA/EPDM (80/20) and PLA/PBS/EPDM ternary blends. While the
strain at break of PLA/EPDM (80/20) blends was higher than that of PLA/PBS (80/20)
blends and the strain at break of ternary blends increased with increasing EPDM content,
this indicated the presence of EPDM enhanced the strain at break of PLA and PLA/PBS
blends. Additionally, the ternary blends of PLA/PBS/EPDM (80/5/15) exhibited higher
impact strength than that of PLA/PBS blends.
