The experiment of degradation in vitro was conducted to reveal the degradation behaviour of PLLA/PCL masterbatch, and the characteristics of masterbatch in degradation, such as surface morphol- ogy, chemical structure, crystallization, mass loss and strength, were analyzed. The results indicated that the surface of PLLA/PCL masterbatch was etched in degradation, and the larger proportion of PCL, the less etching and slower degra- dation. The ester bonds were hydrolyzed firstly, and the crystallization region in PLLA/PCL masterbatch was destroyed gradually to form a non-crystalline region in degradation. The degradation rate of PLLA in composite masterbatch was faster than that of PCL. With increasing of PCL involved in masterbatch, the mass loss rate of masterbatch in degrada- tion decreased. In addition, the more PCL involved in composite masterbatch, the lower breaking strength.}, number = {02}, urldate = {2020-05-26}, journal = {Industria Textila}, author = {Liu, Shu-Qiang and Wang, Kai-Wen and Yang, Ya-Ru and Li, Hui-Min and Wu, Gai-Hong and Yu, Juan-Juan and Liu, Ming-Fang and Zang, Yao and Wang, Peng and Zhang, Jie and Xu, An and Yin, Xiao-Long and Li, Fu and Zhang, Man}, month = apr, year = {2020}, pages = {99--104} }
