The effect of a nucleating agent (NT-C) on the crystallization behavior of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was studied. The melting and crystallization behavior and spherulitic morphology of the nucleated PLA were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and polarized light microscopy (PLM). It is found that the crystallization temperature and crystallinity increase, the spherulitic size decrease for the nucleated PLA. But the crystal structure of the nucleated PLA is not changed.

The crystallization behavior and crystalline structure of poly (lactic acid) (PLA) filled with a novel nucleating agent (TMC328), which is a kind of aromatic amide derivatives, were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wide angle X-ray (XRD). In isothermal crystallization from the melt, the present of TMC328 remarkably affected the isothermal crystalline behaviors of PLA. PLA/0.5% TMC328 sample exhibited very short crystallization half-times at 90-130 °C. Furthermore, the Avrami theory was used to describe the isothermal crystallization kinetics of PLA/TMC328 samples. It is confirmed that TMC328 showed a significant heterogeneous nucleation effect on the crystallization of PLA matrix. Moreover, XRD measurement indicates that TMC328 is a kind of α-form nucleating agent for PLA.

A hydrazide compound (N-4) was used as a nucleating agent to induce the crystallization of poly (lactic acid) (PLA). PLA/N-4 samples were prepared by melt blending in an internal mixer. The melting and crystallization behavior and spherulitic morphology of the samples doped with different contents of N-4 were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized light microscopy (PLM). It is found that the crystallization temperature and crystallinity increased but the spherulitic size of PLA decreased for the nucleated samples. It is indicated that N-4 is an effective nucleating agent for PLA.
