【 摘 要 】
Crystallization behaviour of polylactic acid/cellulose (PLA/CELL) and linear low-density polyethylene/cellulose (LDPE/CELL) composites was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized light microscopy equipped with hot-stage. The effect of addition of cellulose on thermal properties of PLA/CELL and LDPE/CELL composites was considered. The DSC experiments were performed at different scanning rates. For pure PLA the crystallization peak at T = 98.8 °C was observed in DSC scans at 20 °C/min with the corresponding melting peak at 110.1 °C. With addition of cellulose no crystallization peaks and melting peaks related to them were found. For all samples cold crystallization peaks at around 130 °C and corresponding melting peaks at 152–153 °C were observed in endotherms. Cold crystallinity is strongly affected by cellulose content: the higher the cellulose content, the higher is the cold crystallinity of the samples. At the same time overall crystallinity for all PLA/cellulose composites is negligible contrary to pure PLA, which is slightly crystalline. Unlike PLA, LDPE and its composites have no cold crystallization, which is a usual behaviour for LDPE materials. A general crystallization/melting behaviour of LDPE/cellulose composites is identical to that of pure LDPE. However, the crystallinity of LDPE/composites decreases with increasing cellulose content.
