<p>We synthesized a new phenylacetic hydrazide derivative (TAPH) by acylation and amination to prepare modified poly(L-lactide) (PLLA) materials.

Non-isothermal melt crystallization showed that TAPH as a heterogeneous additive was able to promote crystallization and accelerate the crystallization rate of PLLA. Unfortunately, an increase in the cooling rate during cooling led to a decrease in crystallization ability. Non-isothermal cold-crystallization results disclosed that PLLA/TAPH’s cold-crystallization behavior depended on the heating rate; and upon a given heating rate, with an increase in TAPH loading, a shift toward the low-temperature side of the cold-crystallization peak further confirmed the nucleation effect of TAPH. The melting processes of PLLA/TAPH effectively depended on TAPH, the heating rate, and previous crystallization behaviors including non-isothermal crystallization and isothermal crystallization. Additionally, the double-melting peaks that appeared during the melt were thought to be due to melting-recrystallization. In terms of the optical property, the influence of TAPH on PLLA’s transparency was extremely negative as 2 wt% TAPH caused PLLA’s transparency to be zero.
