Three-dimensional crimped biodegradable poly(lactic acid) fibers prepared via melt spinning and controlled structural reorganization

Biodegradable three-dimensional crimped fibers were prepared by the side-by-side composite spinning of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and low-melting point PLA (LM-PLA). The structural variation of the PLA/LM-PLA composite fibers during dry and wet heat treatment was explored systematically. It is shown th...

Sumario:Biodegradable three-dimensional crimped fibers were prepared by the side-by-side composite spinning of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and low-melting point PLA (LM-PLA). The structural variation of the PLA/LM-PLA composite fibers during dry and wet heat treatment was explored systematically. It is shown that crystallization and disorientation were two key factors for the formation of the three-dimensional crimped structure of PLA/LM-PLA side-by-side composite fibers (SSCF). The wet heat-treated fiber has better crimp performance and fluffiness, and the crimp number, crimp ratio and crimp elasticity ratio of the treated PLA/LM-PLA SSCF with good comprehensive properties are 21 per 25 mm, 31.9% and 81.6%, which are similar to those of industrialized PET/PTT three-dimensional crimped fibers. The results of this study shed light on the development of novel three-dimensional crimped fibers with biodegradability.
