Abstract:Stereocomplexes(sc-PLA) was prepared by improved solvent method, using high molecular weight poly(L-lactic acid-co-glycolic acid)(PLLGA) and poly(D-lactic acid)(PDLA)[m(PLLGA) : m(PDLA)=3:1, c 50 mL·g-1]as materials, chloroform as solvent and equal volume methanol as precipitator, at 50 ℃ for 4 h. The structure and performances were characterized by XRD, DSC and TGA. The crystallinity and initial decomposition temperature of sc-PLA were 96.2% and 342 ℃, respectively.
