Abstract:

Rutile-type titanium dioxide(TiO2) nanorods were synthesized using titanium trichloride as titanium source, which were further superficially modified by tetraethoxysilane and the nano-TiO2 coated by SiO2 were obtained(SiO2@TiO2). The average length of TiO2 nanorods is about 50 nm, the average diameter of TiO2 nanorods is about 8 nm and the thickness of the SiO2 coating layer is about 4 nm. The maximum absorption wavelength of SiO2@TiO2 has a slight blue shift compared with that of TiO2. Poly(L-lactic acid)(PLLA)/(SiO2@TiO2) nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending. The thermal, crystallization, UV-shielding and stretching properties of PLLA and PLLA/(SiO2@TiO2) nanocomposites were characterized by transmission electron microscope(TEM), thermogravimetric analysis(TGA), differential scanning calorimetry analysis(DSC), ultraviolet-visible absorption spectrometry(UV-Vis) and wide angle X-ray scattering(2D-WAXS). The results showed that the SiO2@TiO2 nanoparticles were dispersed well in the PLLA matrix. SiO2@TiO2 improved the thermal decomposition temperature and crystallization rate of PLLA and had a heterogeneous nucleation role in PLLA. The PLLA/(SiO2@TiO2) films had excellent UV shielding property while maintaining high visible transmittance. The orientation and crystallinity of PLLA/(SiO2@TiO2) nanocomposites stretched at 90 and 100 ℃ were higher than that of PLLA.

Key words: Poly(L-lactic acid), Nano titanium dioxide, Composite, Stretching property
