By virtue of their similar chemical structures, in situ cross-linking reaction initiated by dicumyl peroxide（DCP） between PLA and PPC chains was realized in PLA/PPC blends. Therefore, the compatibility between PLA and PPC was increased, which obviously changed the phase structures and increased the elongation at break of the blends. The compatibilized blends had a recovery performance at 45 °C. Combining the changes of phase structures, the mechanism of the shape memory was discussed. It was demonstrated that in situ compatibilization by dicumyl peroxide was effective to obtain eco-friendly PLA/PPC blends with good mechanical and shape memory properties.展开更多
