ABSTRACT Poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐ co ‐3‐hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) was blended with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) various reactive processing agents to decrease its brittleness and enhance processability. Three diisocyanates, namely, hexamethylene diisocyanate, poly(hexamethylene diisocyanate), 1,4‐phenylene were used as compatibilizing agents. The morphology, thermomechanical properties, rheological behavior investigated scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential...
Binary blends based on poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and polycaprolactone (PCL) were prepared by melt mixing in a twin-screw co-rotating extruder order to increase the low intrinsic elongation at break of PLA for packaging applications. Although PCL show miscibility, presence leads marked improvement ductile properties PLA. Various mechanical evaluated terms content up 30 wt% PCL. In addition tensile flexural properties, Poisson's ratio was obtained using biaxial extensometry evaluate transversal...
This research work aims to study the influence of reprocessing cycles on mechanical, thermal, and thermomechanical properties polylactide (PLA). To this end, PLA was subjected as many six extrusion resultant pellets were shaped into pieces by injection molding. Mechanical characterization revealed that presented relatively similar up third cycle, whereas further induced an intense reduction in ductility toughness. The effect also studied changes melt fluidity, which showed a significant...
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were isolated for the first time from pine cones (PC) by alkali and bleaching treatments subsequent sulfuric acid hydrolysis (64%) at 45 °C. The influence of hydrolytic reaction (30, 45, 90 min) on yield, chemical composition structure, thermal stability CNCs was evaluated. removal non-cellulosic constituents during alkaline treatment resulted in high pure cellulosic fibres. isolation these fibres different times verified nano-dimensions individual crystals (< 3...
During the last decades, increasing ecology in reduction of environmental impact caused by traditional plastics is contributing to growth more sustainable with aim reduce consumption non-renewable resources for their production [...]
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) has gain in recent years a huge interest the food packaging field due to its renewable origin from waste as well non-food crops, high mechanical strength, medium-to-high barrier performance, and inherent biodegradability natural environments. Despite these advantages, PHB also shows narrow processing window brittleness since this homopolyester low thermal stability crystallinity, limiting industrial application. The present review provides an updated state of...
Abstract Diethyl l ‐tartrate (DET) is used as a biobased plasticizer for poly(lactide) (PLA) formulations with improved ductile properties without compromising biodegradation. Different weight percentages (wt.%) of DET in the 0–50 wt.% range are added to PLA by melt compounding and subsequently processed injection molding. The effect on mechanical, thermal, thermo‐mechanical, morphology, biodegradation, crystallinity studied. Addition 20 leads noticeable increase elongation at break up...
In this work, low-pressure nitrogen plasma has been used to improve wettability in a polyurethane film. Evaluation of changes carried out using contact angle measurements. Furthermore, plasma-treated films have subjected air aging evaluate the extent hydrophobic recovery. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study surface functionalization; topography related with etching mechanism followed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force (AFM) and weight loss study. The results show...
