Abstract: | Di-hydroxyl-terminated xylan butyrate (XylBu) with two hydroxyl end groups at opposite ends of the polymer was prepared by acid hydrolysis of XylBu. l-Lactide was polymerized on to the hydroxyl groups at both ends of XylBu, by ring opening. Structural characterization of the polymerization products was carried out using GPC and NMR analyses. It was confirmed that the polymerization products were mixtures of a poly(l-lactide) (PLLA)-b-XylBu-b-poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) triblock copolymer and PLLA homopolymer. Crystallization behaviors of the polymerization products were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry measurements and polarizing optical microscopy observation to investigate the effects of the triblock copolymer on crystallization of PLLA components. |
