Biodegradable poly (propylene carbonate) (PPC) composite with a slight improvement in the thermal stability and tensile strength was successfully prepared by incorporating a low content of nano-SiO2. Tensile tests demonstrate the better mechanical properties of the composites prepared in this study. The obtained composites increases sharply from 1.57Mpa to 12.04Mpa by incorporating 5wt% nano-SiO2. Furthermore, the composites show approximately 8°C higher glass transition temperature (Tg) than that of neat PPC.The Tdmax of composite with 5wt% of nano-SiO2 was about 40°C higher than that of neat PPC.

AbstractPoly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) is a new biodegradable aliphatic polycarbonate with poor thermal stability and mechanical properties which shows difficulty in forming film by melt-extrusion technology. Through the addition of polystyrene (PS), the melt-extrusion film processability, thermal stability and mechanical properties of PPC was improved largely. PPC/PS films were prepared in the the melt-extrusion process successfully. DSC data showed that there was some degree of miscibility between PPC and PS. SEM showed good dispersion of PS particles into PPC matrix. Improved mechanical properties and thermal stability of PPC/PS blends were attributed to homogeneous dispersing and stronger interfacial interaction of PS and PPC. These results indicate that blending PPC with PS is an efficient and convenient method to improve the properties of PPC, and the composites can be used as a common packaging material for a wide range of applications.

PPC is a new biodegradable aliphatic polycarbonate with poor thermal stability and mechanical properties which is difficult to form sheets or films and so on. Through the addition of alkali lignin, thermal stability and mechanical properties of PPC was improved largely. PPC/ alkali lignin sheets could be prepared. DSC results showed that the thermal stability of PPC was improved by the introduction of alkali lignin. SEM showed good dispersion of alkali lignin particles into PPC matrix that resulted in good miscibility. Improved mechanical properties and thermal stability of PPC/ alkali lignin blends were attributed to stronger interfacial interaction of PPC and alkali lignin. These results indicate that blending PPC with alkali lignin is an efficient and convenient method to improve the properties of PPC.

In the present study, silver (Ag) nanoparticles and maleic anhydride-grafted polyolefin elastomer (MAH-g-POE) were used as enhancement additives to improve the performance of the polyoxymethylene (POM) homopolymer. Specifically, the POM/Ag/MAH-g-POE ternary nanocomposites with varying Ag nanoparticles and MAH-g-POE contents were prepared by a melt mixing method. The effects of the additives on the microstructure, thermal stability, crystallization behavior, mechanical properties, and dynamic mechanical thermal properties of the ternary nanocomposites were studied. It was found that the MAH-g-POE played a role in the bridging of the Ag nanoparticles and POM matrix and improved the interfacial adhesion between the Ag nanoparticles and POM matrix, owing to the good compatibility between Ag/MAH-g-POE and the POM matrix. Moreover, it was found that the combined addition of Ag nanoparticles and MAH-g-POE significantly enhanced the thermal stability, crystallization properties, and mechanical properties of the POM/Ag/MAH-g-POE ternary nanocomposites. When the Ag/MAH-g-POE content was 1 wt.%, the tensile strength reached the maximum value of 54.78 MPa. In addition, when the Ag/MAH-g-POE content increased to 15wt.%, the elongation at break reached the maximum value of 64.02%. However, when the Ag/MAH-g-POE content further increased to 20 wt.%, the elongation at break decreased again, which could be attributed to the aggregation of excessive Ag nanoparticles forming local defects in the POM/Ag/MAH-g-POE ternary nanocomposites. Furthermore, when the Ag/MAH-g-POE content was 20 wt.%, the maximum decomposition temperature of POM/Ag/MAH-g-POE ternary nanocomposites was 398.22 °C, which was 71.39 °C higher than that of pure POM. However, compared with POM, the storage modulus of POM/Ag/MAH-g-POE ternary nanocomposites decreased with the Ag/MAH-g-POE content, because the MAH-g-POE elastomer could reduce the rigidity of POM.
