The blends of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) and poly(L-2-hydroxy-3-methylbutanoic acid) (PL-2H3MB) with different compositions were prepared by solution casting. The crystallization, melting and pyrolysis properties of the blends were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized optical microscope (POM), wide angle X-ray diffractometry (WAXD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The formation of PLLA and PL-2H3MB co-crystals was speculated due to the observation of the new melting peak in DSC first heating profile. The co-crysals significantly increased the initial crystallization temperature of PLLA and the characteristic diffraction peaks in WAXD profile were also shifted, which both confirmed the co-crystallization phenomenon in solution casting blend. At the same time, the thermal stability of PLLA/PL-2H3MB blends was better than that of neat PLLA or PL-2H3MB. The co-crystallization behavior of PLLA and PL-2H3MB may provided a new potential method to regulate the thermal stability, mechanical properties and degradation properties of PLLA.
