摘要
Polylactic acid(PLA)is one of the most promising shape memory polymers with outstanding biocompatibility,while poly(ether ether ketone)(PEEK)is a special engineering plastic with excellent mechanical performance.In this work,PEEK was selected to modify PLA,and a series of PLA blended with different PEEK contents(PLA/PEEK blends)were obtained.The effects of PEEK on thermodynamic,mechanical and shape memory properties of PLA/PEEK blends were investigated.The results showed that the thermal stabillity of the PL A/PEEK blend was improved with the PEEK content increase.The tensile strength reached the highest value of 20.6 MPa when the PEEK content was 10%.While the best shape memory performance occurred with the PEEK content of 15%,the shape recovery time was less than 2 s,and the shape fixation/recovery ratio was more than 99%.Furthermore,the programmable mimetic flower opening process was achieved by using PLA/PEEK blends with different PEEK content ratios.The above results indicated that the blend of an appropriate proportion of PEEK had positive effects on mechanical and deformation performances of PLA.
