We report the formation and structure of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) nanofiber shish kebabs (NFSKs) containing stereocomplex crystal (SC) shish and SC/homocrystal (HC) kebabs. PLA-based NFSKs were obtained by combining electrospinning and controlled polymer crystallization in order to investigate the interplay between PLA SC and HC formation. Nanofibers were produced by electrospinning poly(l-lactic acid)/poly(d-lactic acid) (PLLA/PDLA) blends and were used as the shish. A secondary polymer (either PDLA or PLLA/PDLA blends) was decorated on the nanofiber by an incubation method to form kebab lamellae. We show that both SC and HC kebab crystals can be formed using a SC shish following a soft epitaxy mechanism, while the subtle morphological differences in the resultant NFSKs reveal the propensity of SC nuclei in SC/HC crystallization.
我们报道了含有立体复合晶体(SC)晶须和SC/均相晶体(HC)串的聚乳酸(PLA)纳米纤维串(NFSKs)的形成与结构。基于PLA的NFSKs通过静电纺丝和可控聚合物结晶相结合的方法获得,以研究PLA的SC和HC形成之间的相互作用。通过静电纺丝聚(L-乳酸)/聚(D-乳酸)(PLLA/PDLA)共混物制备纳米纤维,并将其用作晶须。通过孵育法在纳米纤维上修饰第二聚合物(PDLA或PLLA/PDLA共混物)以形成串状片晶。我们表明,遵循软外延机制,使用SC晶须可以形成SC和HC串状晶体,而所得NFSKs中细微的形态差异揭示了SC/HC结晶中SC核的倾向。
