Effective photo-crosslinking behavior of cinnamate-terminated star-shaped polylactides
Star-shaped poly(l-lactide) (starPLLA) and poly(d-lactide) (starPDLA) were synthesized, and their terminal groups were capped with cinnamate functionalities to obtain cinnamate-terminated star-shaped polylactides (C-starPLLA and C-starPDLA). It was confirmed that both starPLLA and C-starPLLA showed better solubility in various organic solvents than their corresponding linear polylactides. Polymer films of C-starPLLA and its blends with C-starPDLA (C-starPLLA/PDLA) were effectively crosslinked by UV irradiation. The molecular weights of the films were found to become higher when the irradiation was done after annealing the films, suggesting that the increased polymer crystallization by the annealing ought to promote the concentration of the cinnamate functionalities in the amorphous domain, inducing the subsequent terminal photo-crosslinking more efficiently. Furthermore, the aqueous emulsions of C-nPLAs and C-starPLAs were successfully prepared and used for fabrication of their films by emulsion casting. When the resultant polymer films were annealed and UV-irradiated, the film was found to become much harder due to the higher degree of crosslinking. These results supported that the star-shaped structure with photo-crosslinkable terminals should be an effective approach to provide PLAs having improved processability and properties simultaneously.
Graphical Abstract
Star-shaped poly(L-lactide) (starPLLA) and poly(D-lactide) (starPDLA) were synthesized, and their terminal groups were capped with cinnamate functionalities to obtain cinnamate-terminated star-shaped polylactides (C-starPLLA and C-starPDLA). It was confirmed that both starPLLA and C-starPLLA showed better solubility in various organic solvents than their corresponding linear polylactides. Polymer films of C-starPLLA and its blend with C-starPDLA (C-starPLLA/PDLA) were effectively crosslinked by UV irradiation. These results supported that the star-shaped structure with photo-crosslinkable terminals should be an effective approach to provide PLAs having improved processability and properties simultaneously.
