Abstract

A comparison study has been made on thermal degradation of poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) to investigate the influences of two different zeolites filled through thermogravimetric analysis. Non-isothermal degradation measurements are conducted at a N2 flow rate of 30 ml/min along with a constant heating rate of 5–30 K/min. The thermal degradation features of PLLA/zeolite composites are compared in terms of some specific degradation temperatures. With the selected kinetic method, the activation energy E a values of two different zeolite-filled composites have been calculated. Calculation results indicated that the zeolite addition has rendered PLLA more thermally stable, requiring higher E a values for thermal degradation. ZSM-5 zeolite has shown higher effect on PLLA thermal properties than Hβ zeolite.
