Low-molecular-mass bio-polyesters, such as lactic acid oligomers, constitute a growing category of plasticizers for poly (lactic acid), since they show good compatibility and are respectful of the environment.

Dielectric and calorimetric results are combined to study the molecular mobility in a large temperature range.

Abstract

Low-molecular-mass bio-polyesters, such as lactic acid oligomers, constitute a growing category of plasticizers for poly (lactic acid), since they show good compatibility and are respectful of the environment. This study focuses on the glass transition of a series of oligomers with different molecular weights, with the aim of investigating how their associated dynamics occur. Dielectric and calorimetric results are combined to study the molecular mobility in a large temperature range. In comparison with poly (lactic acid), the oligomers exhibit a lower fragility index and smaller cooperative rearranging regions. Among oligomers, the fragility is clearly dependent on the molecular weight, whereas the variations of the cooperativity are subtler.
