AbstractThis paper presents the results of contact mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) study on the nanoscale Young's modulus and work of adhesion of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). Cryoultramicrotomed surfaces of UHMWPE were scanned using the contact mode of AFM. Fibril regions are commonly found on the sample, however, a non-fibril particulate region was also found. AFM force displacement curves were obtained for the sample. The JKR theory and Maugis Dugdale model were used for the analysis. A good fitting between the theories and experimental data was found. The nanoscale Young's modulus and work of adhesion of UHMWPE extracted from the experimental data were in reasonably good agreement with the values reported in other literatures.

AbstractThe stereocomplex formation is a promising method to improve the properties of poly(lactide) (PLA)-based products due to the strong interaction of the side-by-side arrangement of the molecular chains. Recently, electrospinning method has been applied to prepare PLA stereocomplex, which is more convenient. The objective of the current study is to make stereocomplexed PLA nanofibers using electrospinning method and compare their properties and structures with pure poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) fibers. The stereocomplexed fibers were electrospun from a blend solution of high molecular weight PLLA and poly(d-lactide) (1:1 ratio). The morphology of the obtained electrospun fibers was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Differential scanning calorimetry was applied to study their thermal properties and crystallinity. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) test was conducted on the samples to characterize their chemical properties. The SEM and AFM images indicated that smooth uniform fibers with a cylindrical structure were produced. Besides, the FTIR results and thermal properties confirmed that only stereocomplex crystallites formed in the resulting fibers via the electrospinning method.
