Abstract

This work is aimed to the development of a self-healing thermoplastic matrix nanocomposite, obtained through the ring-opening polymerization of cyclic butylene terephthalate (CBT) to polybutylene terephthalate (pCBT); a partial polymerization allows obtaining a mixture of CBT and pCBT, being the two materials characterized by a difference in the melting temperature of about 80 °C. Healing of the material requires heating to a temperature higher than melting of CBT, but lower than melting of pCBT; therefore, the molten CBT is able to weld the surfaces of the growing crack, thus restoring mechanical properties. The presence of solid pCBT allows retaining the geometry of the material. In order to produce a partially polymerized material, two different systems were studied: a first one with two catalysts, with different activation temperatures, and a second one with one single catalyst partially intercalated in nanoclay layers. Rheological analysis was used in order to study the viscosity evolution associated with the conversion of CBT to pCBT during thermal treatment. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used in order to measure the amount of unreacted CBT after processing, and to verify the further conversion of CBT to pCBT during healing. Also, DSC analysis highlighted the structural changes of pCBT crystallinity during healing. Flexural tests were performed on partially reacted pCBT samples, highlighting the relevant effect of the addition of nanoclay on the mechanical properties of the material. Adhesion tests performed after healing evidenced the efficacy of the proposed approach for development of self-healing thermoplastic polymers.

Abstract

This work is aimed to study the suitability of cardanol and its derivatives as plasticizers for poly(lactic acid), PLA. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to assess the plasticizing effectiveness of cardanol (CARD) and its derivatives, cardanol acetate and epoxidated cardanol acetate, comparing the results with those obtained with a commercially available plasticizer, poly (ethylene glycol), PEG, with an average molecular weight of 400 g mol−1. Measurement of the glass transition temperature highlighted that, among the tested cardanol derivatives, neat cardanol is the most effective plasticizer for PLA. In fact, the glass transition temperature of PLA plasticized by CARD is only slightly higher than that of PLA plasticized by PEG. This is attributed to the lower compatibility between PLA and CARD compared to PLA and PEG, as estimated by the interaction radius. Therefore, cardanol could represent a technically valid, economic, and largely available plasticizer for PLA. Moreover, DSC, an X-ray diffraction analysis, showed that, compared to PEG, the addition of CARD involves a limited increase of the rate of crystallization, even in this case, due to its lower compatibility with PLA. Dynamic mechanical analysis showed that, below glass transition, PEG is able to reduce the stiffness of PLA by a higher extent. However, as the temperature increases, retention of the shear modulus of PEG-plasticized PLA is much higher than that of CARD-plasticized PLA. As a consequence, above glass transition, the stiffness of CARD-plasticized PLA becomes lower than that of PEG-plasticized PLA. Therefore, despite its lower compatibility with PLA, CARD can impart to plasticized PLA lower modulus compared to PEG, when the plasticizer content is high enough to reduce the glass transition below room temperature.
