Lignin Particle Size Affects the Properties of PLA Composites Prepared by In Situ Ring-Opening Polymerization

The present work focuses on the synthesis and characterization of biobased lignin-poly(lactic) acid (PLA) composites. Organosolv lignin, extracted from beechwood, was used as a filler at 0.5, 1.0, and 2.5 wt% loadings, with ultrasonication reducing the lignin particle size to ~700 nm. The PLA-lignin...

description The present work focuses on the synthesis and characterization of biobased lignin-poly(lactic) acid (PLA) composites. Organosolv lignin, extracted from beechwood, was used as a filler at 0.5, 1.0, and 2.5 wt% loadings, with ultrasonication reducing the lignin particle size to ~700 nm. The PLA-lignin composites were prepared via in situ ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of L-lactide in the presence of lignin. This method ensured uniform lignin dispersion in the PLA matrix due to grafting of PLA chains onto lignin particles, preventing aggregation. Strong polymer-filler interactions were confirmed through spectroscopic analysis (FTIR and XPS) and their effects on static and dynamic glass transitions (DSC). These interactions enhanced mechanical properties, including a two-fold increase in tensile strength and elongation at 1 wt% lignin. Crystallization was suppressed due to shorter PLA chains, and a 15% drop in dynamical fragility was observed via Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy (BDS). Antioxidant activity improved significantly, with PLA-2.5% ultrasonicated organosolv lignin reducing DPPH• content to 7% after 8 h, while UV-blocking capability increased with lignin content.
