Study on the Properties of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate/Polylactide Composite Material
The preparation and hydrophilicity of SDS/PLA composite material and changing of pH value during the degradation was studied. The SDS/PLA composite material was prepared by a solvent casting method. The effect of the addition of SDS into PLA on the hydrophilic of PLA was studied. The results showed that the hydrophilicity of PLA increased with the addition of SDS. The behaviors of degradation of SDS/PLA composite material were studied. The results showed the SDS/PLA composite material could maintain the original mechanical properties of PLA. The addition of SDS could neutralize the lactic acid which was produced in the process of degradation and make pH value of the system relatively stable.
