Abstract
It was necessary to study the bonding mechanism of poly(d,l-lactide) (PDLLA) and hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles because of their increasing application in medical fields. In this paper, hydrogen bonding between PDLLA and HA in PDLLA/HA nanocomposites was first investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Structural morphology and glass transition temperature (Tg) of the nanocomposites showed that there was a close interaction between polymer matrix and inorganic nanoparticls. The results from FTIR and XPS indicated that the hydrogen bonding between the CO in PDLLA and the surface POH groups of HA nanocrystalline was formed indeed. Shape memory properties were improved, which further implied the existence of hydrogen bonding in these nanocomposites. Thus, we designed a schematic model of the hydrogen bonding on the base of the experimental results. It can clearly explain the interaction mechanism of polymeric phases and inorganic phase in nanocomposites.
