Abstract
The effects of chemically modified thermoplastic starch (CMPS) on the morphology, thermal and mechanical properties of the blends of poly(lactic acid)(PLA) and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)(PBAT) were studied. Blends of PLA/PBAT with the CMPS contents of 10, 20 and 30 wt% on the basis of PLA/PBAT weight were prepared by a twin screw extruder. The morphology, thermal and mechanical properties of the blends were examined by using scanning electron microscope (SEM), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and a tensile tester. The DSC study revealed that PLA/PBAT blends are thermodynamically immiscible, while the compatibility was much improved by addition of the CMPS.

본 연구는 화학적으로 개질된 열가소성 전분(chemically modified thermoplastic starch(CMPS))과 poly (lactic acid)(PLA)와 poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)(PBAT) 블렌드의 형태학, 열적 및 기계적 특성에 미치는 영향에 대해서 연구하였다. PLA/PBAT 블렌드에 CMPS를 이 블렌드의 중량기준으로 10, 20, 30 wt%를 첨가하여 이축압출기로 가공하였다. PLA/PBAT/CMPS 블렌드에서 PLA의 유리전이온도(Tg )는 CMPS 함량이 증가하여도 큰 변화를 나타내지 않았지만, CMPS의 첨가에 의해 PLA상과 PBAT상 사이의 계면상태가 좋아지는 상용성있는 형태학을 보여주었다.

Keywords: poly(lactic acid); chemically modified thermoplastic starch(CMPS); poly(butylene adipateco-terephthalate)(PBAT); morphology; thermal property; mechanical property.
