Abstract:

In this study, biodegradable kefiran-chitosan-nanocellulose blend films were developed and their physical, mechanical, barrier, thermal and structural properties determined. Results showed that adding nanocellulose had not any significant effect on the thickness, moisture content and water solubility. Also, water vapor permeability, tensile strength and lightness increased and the elongation at break, glass transition and melting temperatures, chromaticity parameters of red–green and yellow–blue, total color difference, and whiteness index decreased by increasing the nanocellulose content. Scanning electron microscopy demonstrated that at high concentrations of nanocellulose, the nanoparticle dispersion was not uniform and many agglomerations observed in the surface and cross-section of the nanocomposites. In the end, XRD analysis showed that the dispersed phase of nanocellulose could not indicate its own crystalline peaks in the kefiran-chitosan matrix.

Biodegradable Zein-Based Blend Films: Structural, Mechanical and Barrier Properties.

The effect of adding a hydrocolloid on the structural, mechanical and barrier properties of zein-based blend films is evaluated. Zein-oleic acid blend film with added xanthan gum (Z-OA-XG) showed higher water solubility (13.09%) and opacity (8.49 AU/mm) than zein-oleic acid (Z-OA) film (10.80% and 5.19 AU/mm, respectively). Furthermore, Z-OA film had greater flexibility with lower Young's Modul...

Novel Kefiran-Polyvinyl Alcohol Composite Film: Physical, Mechanical and Rheological Properties

Background and Objectives: Kefiran (Kef) is a water-soluble polysaccharide that can form transparent film however, it is brittle. Therefore, in order to improve the mechanical properties of kefiran film, a mixture with other polymers can be offered. The expansion of mixed systems can propose kefiran and polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) as a new composite film. Materials and Methods: Solutions of 20 gr...

Chitosan/Poly(Amide-Imide) Blend Films: Studies on Thermal and Mechanical Stability, Morphology and Biodegradability

A diacid monomer was synthesized by the condensation of L-tryptophan amino acid and pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA). The diacid was utilized for the synthesis of three types of poly(amide-imide)s (PAIs) using three different kinds of diamines. The synthesized monomer and PAIs were characterized using FT-IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopies and the PAIs were also used ...

Enhancement of Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Polycaprolactone/Chitosan Blend by Calcium Carbonate Nanoparticles

This study investigates the effects of calcium carbonate (CaCO(3)) nanoparticles on the mechanical and thermal properties and surface morphology of polycaprolactone (PCL)/chitosan nanocomposites. The nanocomposites of PCL/chitosan/CaCO(3) were prepared using a melt blending technique. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results indicate the average size of nanoparticles to be approximately 6...
