Abstract:

Aiming at the low mechanical strength, poor toughness, slow crystallization speed, low crystallinity, and poor heat resistance of polylactic acid products, modification methods and mechanisms for improving the heat resistance of polylactic acid materials were reviewed. The review was concentrated on blending modification involving polymer composite modification and filling modification, chain structure modification encompassing copolymerization modification and crosslinking modification, and crystal modification including additive nucleating agent modification and processing technology modification. The advantages and disadvantages of each modification method were briefly analyzed, and the formation of polylactic acid stereo complex crystals and its influencing factors were introduced and discussed in detail. The development direction and prospect of polylactic acid materials were analyzed and prospected. The rereview revealed that the most popular modification method is to adjust and control the heat resistance of polylactic acid materials through crystal modification and modification of processing conditions.

Key words: polylactic acid, stereo complex, heat-resistant property, blending modification, chain structure modification, crystal modification
