The role of hydrogen bonding (H-bonding) in polymer nucleation and crystallization is not yet so clear. To understand this physical issue, a series of poly (L-lactide) (PLLA) with different amount of terminal oxamide segments (OXA, -NHCOCONH-) were tailor-made as model H-bonding polymers (PLLAnOXA, n is the number of –NHCO–), and then the influence of H-bonding on the polymer nucleation and crystallization were investigated by a combination of experiments and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Compared with PLLA, much more types of H-bonds are created between the OXA segments and either the PLLA chains or the other OXA segments in the PLLAnOXAsystems. A segment can be immobilized in the melt by H-bonding induced topological constraint and/or steric hindrance leading to a certain extent of reduction in entropy. Thus, the pair of H-bonded segments acting as a precursor of the “first stems” is expected to inducing local ordered structures (LOS) at elevated temperatures, which further facilitates the formation of both primary and secondary nuclei. As a consequence, the nOXA segments induced H-bonds not only significantly enhanced the crystallization temperature (Tc, from 100 °C to 112 °C) and the crystallinity (Xc,from 10% to 52%) of PLLA, but also increases the crystal growth rate (G) by nearly 10 times (from 0.25 to 2.66 μm min−1at 150 °C). Moreover, a HI-MS (H-bond induced multi-stage) nucleation phenomenon in the melt of the PLLAnOXAwas revealed by in-situ small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) under both non-isothermal (1 °C/min) and isothermal (135 °C) conditions. The HI-MS nucleation mechanism is well correlated to the nOXA induced multi-types of H-bonds which possess different thermodynamical stability at a certain high temperature. Therefore, this work not only provides a new route to make rapid crystallizing PLLA via hybridizing H-bonding segments, but also provides a molecular-level insight in the H-bonding assisted nucleation of semi-crystalline polymers in general.
