Abstract:

Water-soluble N-(2-hydroxyl)propyl-3-trimethyl ammonium chitosan chloride(HTCC) was synthesized with 2,3-epoxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride(GTA) grafting to the amino groups of chitosan by two-step method. Then, chitosan quaternary ammonium intercalated saponite(HTCC-saponite) was synthesized with HTCC and saponite under ultrasonication. Moreover, poly(lactic acid)(PLA)/HTCC-saponite nanocomposites were prepared by means of in-situ intercalative polymerization with HTCC-saponite and lactide. Orthogonal experiment showed the optimization polymerization parameters of PLA/HTCC-saponite were as follows: the polymerization temperature was 150 ℃, the amount of stannous caprylate was 2%(mass fraction), the amount of HTCC saponite was 1%(mass fraction) and the polymerization time was 16 h. The morphology analysis showed that the HTCC-saponite appeared with intercalative or partially exfoliated structure. The microstructure, morphology and thermal properties of PLA/HTCC-saponite nanocomposites were characterized by XRD, TEM, TG-DTG and DSC, respectively. The results showed that HTCC-saponite obviously promoted the crystallinity and thermal stability of PLA. The antibacterial results showed that HTCC-saponite had good antimicrobial properties, which was endowed in PLA/HTCC-saponite nanocomposites.
