Biodegradable single-polymer composites from polyvinyl alcohol
The microstructure and thermomechanical behaviour of a novel fully biodegradable polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH)-based single-polymer composite (SPC) is presented. Three kinds of PVOH stapled fibres, having different melting temperatures and tensile mechanical properties, were considered as a reinforcement, whilst plasticized PVOH granules were selected as a continuous matrix. Calorimetric tests on th...
متن کاملThe influence of chemical surface modification of kenaf fiber using hydrogen peroxide on the mechanical properties of biodegradable kenaf fiber/poly(lactic acid) composites.
Bleaching treatment of kenaf fiber was performed in alkaline medium containing hydrogen peroxide solution maintained at pH 11 and 80 °C for 60 min. The bleached kenaf fiber was analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis. The bleached kenaf fiber was then compounded with poly-(lactic acid) (PLA) via a melt blending method. The mechanical (tensile, flexu...
متن کاملEvaluation of vascular grafts based on polyvinyl alcohol cryogels.
The present study designed and developed blood vessel substitutes (BVSs) composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) cryogels. The in vitro results demonstrated that the coating of the polymer with lyophilized decellularized vascular matrix (DVM) greatly enhanced the adhesion of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). However, when PVA̸DVM BVSs were implanted into the abdominal aorta of Sprague...
متن کاملbiodegradable carboxymethyl cellulose films modified by polyvinyl alcohol and cellulose nanowhiskers:(1) structural and physical properties
carboxymethyl cellulose (cmc)-polyvinyl alcohol (pvoh) blend film, containing 0-10% cellulose nanowhiskers (cnw), was produced through casting method, while physical properties of the films being investigated. cmc-pvoh-cnw nanocomposites, were prepared with a diluted suspension of cellulose nanowhiskers. nanowhiskers suspension was prepared through acid hydrolysis of cotton linter by sulfuric a...
متن کاملEffects of ultrasound time on the properties of polyvinyl alcohol-based nanocomposite films
Background and Objectives: Preparation and evaluation of nanocomposite films have become prevalent in recent years. One of the most important methods for dispersing nanoparticles in polymers is the use of ultrasound radiation. Polyvinyl alcohol-montmorillonite (PVA-MMT) nanocomposite films were prepared via solvent casting method. Materials and Methods: The effects of different ultrasound ti...
