In this work, hydroxyl-terminated oxalamide compounds N1,N2-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)oxalamide (OXA1) and N1,N1'-(ethane-1,2-diyl)bis(N2-(2-hydroxyethyl)oxalamide (OXA2) were synthesized to initiate the ring-opening polymerization of L-lactide for preparation of oxalamide-hybridized poly(L-lactide) (PLAOXA), i.e., PLAoxA1 and PLAoxA2. The crystallization properties of PLA were improved by the self-assembly of the oxalamide segments in PLAOXA which served as the initial heterogeneous nuclei. The crystal growth kinetics was studied by Hoffman-Lauritzen theory and it revealed that the nucleation energy barrier of PLAOxA1 and PLAOXA2 was lower than that of PLA. Consequently, PLAOxA could crystallize much faster than PLA, accompanied with a decrease in spherulite size and half-life crystallization time by 74.8％ and 86.5％(T=125 ℃), respectively. In addition, the final crystallinity of PLAOXA1 and PLAOXA2 was 6 and 8 times higher, respectively, in comparison with that of neat PLA under a controlled cooling rate of 10 ℃/min. The results demonstrate that the hybridization of oxalamide segments in PLA backbone will serve as the self-heteronucleation for promoting the crystallization rate. The higher the content of oxalamide segments (PLAOXA2 compared with PLAOxA1) is, the stronger the promotion effect will be. Therefore, this study may provide a universal approach by hybridizing macromolecular structure to facilitate the crystallization of semi-crystalline polymer materials.
