Improvement of the functional properties of cellulose acetate film by incorporating with glycerol and n-propanol

Cellulose acetate (CA) was used for the preparation of food packaging film. Glycerol and n-propanol were introduced, as plasticizer transparent agent, respectively evaluating possible changes film functional properties on tensile strength transparency. The transmittance, haze value, flexibility acquired by using optical mechanical analyses, respectively. presence glycerol improved films increasing their extensibility, elasticity; however transparency deteriorated with inclusion plasticizer. Therefore, addition agent into enhanced Moreover, morphological gas barrier property confirmed scanning electron microscopy water vapor transmission rate analyses. results suggest that CA incorporated have good in isolating vapor, performance properties, demonstrating optimal has a potential application packaging. High cellulose (CAF) prepared agent. significant influence performance, physical behavior, such pore structure.
