Title:
Breakthrough in preparation of biodegradable polymeric films towards practical application
Abstract:
The
present work is an attempt to prepare biodegradable polymeric films of natural
rubber, gelatin and alginates tailored by adding acrylic monomers, plasticizers
and γ irradiation towards practical application. The role of urea, transition
and divalent metals (Fe, Mn, Cu and Mg) on the physico-mechanical properties of
radiation vulcanized natural rubber latex films was investigated. The
properties of gelatin–polyvinyl alcohol blend films were improved by methyl
methacrylate (MA) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate monomers. Sodium alginate-based
poly(ethylene oxide) films were prepared and modified by MA, glycerol and oil.
The films were prepared by casting method and found that the properties of the
films are strongly dependent on the film-forming parameters. The tensile
properties, Young’s modulus, moisture content, water vapor permeability and
structural properties of the blended films were determined. The thermal
properties of the films were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis,
dynamic mechanical analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. The
structural and morphological features of the films were examined by Fourier transform
infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The
respective applications of the films were proposed to be dye degradation, first
aid treatment, food packaging and surface coatings.
