Polymer nanocomposites based on poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and ZnO hold a privileged position in the development of organic/inorganic hybrid multifunctional materials for applications ranging from food packing to biotechnological platforms. However, remarkable drawback is that most currently available synthetic routes are approaches both time- energy-consuming often lead heterogeneous polymer films require compatibilizers disperse inorganic nanoparticles into organic matrix. In this work, we...
Abstract In this work, we evaluated starch‐based aerogels prepared using freeze‐drying, and an eco‐friendly crosslinking agent (trisodium citrate), in three different concentrations: 12.8, 19.3, 25.7 mg ml −1 . Aerogels were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, relative density, porosity percentage, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), water uptake. The results indicated a higher reticulation crystallinity lower uptake, increasing concentration (Aero...
Abstract The method employed for membrane preparation and nanoparticle incorporation in systems can affect their properties. This work aims to compare the better strategy obtain membranes from of PBAT [Poly(butylene adipate co‐terephthalate)] containing nanoclay Cloisite® 20A (C20A) (0, 0.5, 1 wt.%) by combined Evaporation/Non‐solvent Induced Phase Separation (EIPS/NIPS) or dip coating methods. SEM, TGA, contact angle measurements, FTIR, XRD, mechanical testing, cost analysis characterized...
This work developed composite and hybrid membranes of poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) with nanocurcumin (NC) and/or cloisite 20A (C20A). The dispersed phases were characterized by DLS, ζ potential, XRD, SEM, FTIR, while mechanical properties, contact angle, copper sorption evaluated the membranes. DLS analysis indicated that present a nanometric size distribution; potential measurements showed low electrostatic stability, explaining agglomeration effects observed. Pure PBAT...
The influence of the different contents organo‐modified montmorillonite clay (1 and 3%wt.) two essential oils (Carvacrol Eugenol ‐ 2 6%wt.) when incorporated into low‐density polyethylene films (LDPE) was characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). This study shows potential as a carrier carvacrol eugenol oils, ClayC ClayE, respectively, LDPE nanocomposites. To prepare nanocomposites, hybrid were mixed added to using...
