A unique crystallization behavior of Poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) / poly(D-lactide) (PDLA) stereocomplex was observed when a PLLA/PDLA blend (50/50) was subjected to specific melting conditions. PLLA and PDLA were synthesized by ring opening polymerization of L- or D-lactide using zinc lactate as catalyst. PLLA/PDLA blend was prepared through solution mixing followed by vacuum drying. The blend was melted under various melting conditions and subsequent crystallization behaviors were analyzed by using DSC, XRD, NMR and ESEM. Stereocomplex was exclusively formed from the 50/50 blend of PLLA and PDLA with relatively low molecular weights. Surprisingly, stereocomplex crystallization was distinctly depressed when higher melting temperature and longer melting period were applied, in contrast to homopolymer crystallization. Considering predominant interactions between PLLA and PDLA chains, a novel model of melting process is proposed to illustrate this behavior. It is assumed that PLLA and PDLA chain couples would preserve their interactions (melt memory) when the stereocomplex crystal melts smoothly, thus resulting in a heterogeneous melt which can easily crystallize. The melt could gradually become homogeneous at higher temperature or longer melting time. The strong interactions between PLLA and PDLA chain segments are randomly distributed in a homogeneous melt, thus preventing subsequent stereocomplex crystallization. However, the homogeneous melt can recover its ability to crystallize via dissolution in a solvent.
