Thermal oxidative stability and effect of water on gas transport and mechanical properties in PA6‐EVOH films

The thermal oxidative stability and the effect of water on gas transport and mechanical properties of blends of polyamide 6 (PA6) with ethylene‐co‐vinyl alcohol (EVOH) and EVOH modified with carboxyl groups (EVOH‐COOH) have been investigated. The presence of EVOH reduces water vapor and oxygen gas permeability of polyamide, as well as small amounts of EVOH‐COOH further improve barrier properties, especially to oxygen. This has been explained in terms of improved interactions of the blend constituents in the amorphous phase, due to ionic linkages between the polyamide amino groups and the carboxyls of modified EVOH. The permeation to gases was found to increase with the amount of sorbed water. The morphology of the samples was found to have an effect on barrier properties, as the presence of EVOH causes the PA6 α crystalline form to increase, lowering the permeability to oxygen and water vapor. Mechanical properties are strongly affected by water sorption, as tensile modulus and strength decrease with increasing water content. Chemiluminescence (CL), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and tensile test were employed in order to assess the correlation between chemical composition and the thermal oxidative stability of the films aged at 110 °C in air. CL experiments suggest that the presence of EVOH and EVOH‐COOH efficiently inhibits the formation of peroxidized species during the processing, and increases the thermal oxidative stability of the films. Infrared spectroscopy showed a build‐up of carbonyl absorption in the range 1700–1780 cm^?1, due to the formation of oxidation products, which is greater in the case of the pure polymer. Tensile tests on films revealed a reduction in ductility as a result of ageing for neat PA6, whereas in comparison the blends exhibit a far better long‐term stability. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Morphology,mechanical, and water transport properties of melt blended EVOH/PVOH films

Herein, we report for the first time the successful preparation of ethylene–vinyl alcohol (EVOH)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH) blends by a melt blending process for PVOH volume content ranging from 0 to 30%. Thermal stability up to 270 °C was maintained for all blends. The blends morphology consisted in spherical low size PVOH domains homogeneously dispersed in the EVOH matrix with good interfacial properties. An increase of the mean size of the PVOH domains (from 0.3 to 1.2 μm) and of the size distribution was evidenced as the PVOH content increased. The contribution of each phase to the water sorption and diffusion was clearly demonstrated. The impact of water uptake was investigated on the chains mobility by using Gordon–Taylor law and on the mechanical properties of the blends with respect to the reference polymers. It was pointed out that the reinforcing effect of PVOH phase decreased as the water activity increased. However, a significant elongation at break was maintained, underlining the major role played by the EVOH continuous phase at high water activity. Finally, it was shown that adding PVOH to EVOH up to 15 vol % allowed strengthening the material at low water activity and keeping interesting elongation at break and barrier properties at high water activity. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Influence of the PVOH molar mass on the morphology and functional properties of EVOH/PVOH films prepared by melt blending

The influences of the molar mass (low, medium, and high) and content of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH) dispersed by melt-blending in an ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) copolymer on the morphology, microstructure, thermal, mechanical, and oxygen barrier properties were investigated. Multilayer films with external low-density polyethylene layers and inner EVOH/PVOH blend layer and respective monolayer films were elaborated and characterized. EVOH/PVOH blends exhibited a good compatibility because of the initial presence of PVOH segments in EVOH. The detailed quantitative analysis of the morphology performed for all blends showed that the finest dispersion was obtained with the PVOH with the lowest molar mass. The properties of the films as a function of the PVOH content and its molar mass were determined herein. Significant improvement of barrier properties was obtained at moderated water activities (up to a_w = 0.6) by using the PVOH with the lowest molar mass. Compared to the neat EVOH material, the oxygen permeability coefficients decreased by a factor 2 by adding 15 vol% PVOH while the thermal and mechanical properties remained similar.     

Synthesis and characterization of hydroxyapatite-poly-(vinyl alcohol) based nanocomposites for their perspective use as bone substitutes

In these studies the hydroxyapatite (HA) impregnated polymeric composites of polyacrylamide (PAm) and poly-(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) have been synthesized by free radical polymerization for the purpose of studying their blood compatibility, water sorption behavior mechanical properties, and porosity. The prepared PAm-PVA-HA composites were characterized using techniques like fourier transform spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction studies, thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The composites were also evaluated for mechanical properties like compressive strength and modulus.     

Reducing water absorption in compostable starch-based plastics

To improve the mechanical and physical properties of corn starch-based bioplastics the addition of natural polymers was investigated. Thermoplastic starch (TPS) was made of 70 g corn starch and 30 g glycerol. To this mixture 10–10 g of cellulose, hemicellulose and zein (protein) were added. Mechanical strength, water absorption and enzymatic degradation of composite materials were measured. Unfilled TPS and 10 w/w% polycaprolactone filled TPS were used as controls in the experiments. All the samples were biodegradable by enzymes. The tensile strength of unfilled and biopolymer filled TPS samples were significantly higher than that of the polycaprolactone filled one. Hemicellulose and zein composites had the best mechanical strength (10.4 and 11.5 MPa). Water uptake of each sample was measured using five different relative humidities. There were slight differences in water uptake of polycaprolactone, hemicellulose and zein filled TPS, however unfilled and cellulose filled samples absorbed more moisture than the polycaprolactone control in all the relative humidities used.

Review of melt‐processed nanocomposites based on EVOH/organoclay

EVOH nanocomposites containing organically treated clays are unique systems in which the clay is strongly attracted to EVOH, thus affecting the morphology and the resultant thermal and mechanical properties. A strong effect of the processing conditions on morphology, thermal, and mechanical properties was observed. In highly interacting systems, under dynamic mixing conditions, in addition to a fracturing process of the clay particles, an onion‐like delamination process is suggested. EVA‐g‐MA and LLDPE‐g‐MA, having polar groups, were studied as compatibilizers to further induce clay intercalation and exfoliation. The compatibilizers affected both the thermal and mechanical properties of the composites at different levels. Thermal analysis showed that with increasing compatibilizer content lower crystallinity levels result, until at a certain content no crystallization has taken place. A Ny‐6 (nylon‐6)/EVOH blend is an interesting host matrix for incorporation of low organoclay contents. The Ny‐6/EVOH blend is a unique system that tends to hydrogen bond and also to in situ chemically react during melt mixing. The addition of clay seems to interrupt the chemical reaction between the two host polymers at certain compositions, leading to lower melt blending torque levels when clay is present. A competition between Ny‐6 and EVOH regarding the intercalation process takes place. However, Ny‐6 seems to lead to exfoliated structures, whereas EVOH forms intercalated structures, as revealed from combined XRD and TEM experiments, owing to thermodynamic considerations and preferential localization of the clay in Ny‐6. Of special interest is the increased storage modulus seen by the presence of only 1 wt % clay, which was achieved by extrusion under high shear forces, leading to a completely exfoliated structure. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation and Characterisation of Thermoplastic Starches from Cassava Starch,Cassava Root and Cassava Bagasse

Summary: Thermoplastic starches (TPS) based on cassava starch have been produced by extrusion at 120 °C, using glycerol as plasticizer. Three forms of cassava starch were employed, viz: cassava root (CR), cassava bagasse (CB) and purified cassava starch (PCS). The main differences between these are the presence of sugars and a few fibres in CR and high fibre concentration in CB. Conditions of processing and characteristics such as amylose and fibre content, crystallinity, water absorption and mechanical behaviour in the tension x deformation test were evaluated. The results demonstrated that the PCS and CR had amylose contents consistent with literature values (14–18%) and that CB is a material constituted mainly by amylopectin. It was found that fibres in high proportions (as in the bagasse) can confer reinforcement properties and are thus able to generate natural composites of TPS with cellulose fibre. The sugars naturally found in the root reduce the elongation of the TPS under tension. The PCS and CR TPS were stable with respect to indices of crystallinity after processing; and during a period of 90 d in a relative humidity of 53%, while the CB TPS tended to vary its crystallinity, probably because its amylose chain had low degree of polymerization.     

Analysis of moisture sorption in lyocell-polypropylene composites

The preparation of composites by thermoforming of intermingled fibre slivers is an efficient method to receive high performance and lightweight materials. Cellulosic fibres have benefits like low density and sustainability but the sorption of water due to the high hydrophilicity of the cellulose requires attention. The swelling of the wet fibres changes the fibre-matrix adhesion and as a consequence, the mechanical strength of the composite is influenced negatively. In this study, the thermoplastic polypropylene was combined with lyocell fibres as reinforcement. Moisture sorption isotherms of cellulose/polypropylene composites were recorded as function of relative humidity. Additionally, the specific surface area was analysed by the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller model. It has been found, that the moisture sorption is influenced by the polypropylene (PP) ratio in the composites. At 60% relative humidity the moisture uptake of the lyocell fibres was reduced from 10.8 to 5.8% for lyocell embedded in a composite with 50% polypropylene. Besides the hysteresis between moisture sorption/desorption cycles was found to be proportional to the increased content of PP. The “Parallel Exponential Kinetics” (PEK) model was used to analyse the kinetics of moisture sorption of these composites in more detail. With the help of the PEK model the sorption/desorption kinetics were described by a fast and slow moisture sorption/desorption process. The capacity for rapid moisture sorption is reduced by the formation of PP layers on the lyocell surface. The share of slow moisture sorption increased with increasing PP content in the composite. The results support understanding of the interaction of water with cellulose containing composites.
