Improving the Processing Ability and Mechanical Strength of Starch/Poly(vinyl alcohol) Blends through Plasma and Acid Modification

Summary: In this study, maleic anhydride (MA), and citric acid (CA) used as the processing additive and plasma treatment to improve the processing ability and mechanical strength of biodegradable starch/poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) blends were studied. The melt flow index (MFI) of starch/ glycerol/PVA (300g/60g/80g) blend was increased from 2.3g/10min to 32.7g/10min by adding 3g of MA and to 130 g/10min by adding MA and plasma treatment. The tensile strength of starch/glycerol/PVA blend increased from 3.48 to 6.21 MPa by adding 1.5g of MA and 1.5g of CA, while it increased to 6.26 MPa by plasma treatment. Esterification reaction which was evidenced by FTIR has been showed to improve the compatibility between starch and PVA when MA was dissolved into glycerol and glycerol grafted onto plasma pretreatment PVA. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging were used to study the morphology of extruded blends.     

Mechanical, morphological and biodegradation studies of microwave processed nanostructured blends of some bio-based oil epoxies with poly (vinyl alcohol)

Bioresource based blends exploit the synergy between polymers derived from renewable resource and commercial polymers to obtain desirable physical, mechanical, and biodegradable properties. With the aim to develop a sustainable resource based biodegradable mulch films, nanostructured blends of epoxies of linseed oil (LOE) and dehydrated castor oil (DCOE) with poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) were prepared in the weight ratios of 20/80, 50/50 and 80/20. Microwave-assisted blending was used for the synthesis of DCOE/LOE blends with PVA and the results were compared with conventional solution blending using FT-IR, TGA-DTA and optical measurements. The results revealed that microwave-assisted blending proved to be an efficient method for the formation of compatible blends in a short span of time as compared to conventional solution blending. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis of DCOE/PVA and LOE/PVA blends synthesized by microwave-assisted method confirmed the formation of a nanostructured blend. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respirometry and mechanical measurements were carried out to compare the morphology, biodegradability, and the mechanical strength of DCOE/PVA and LOE/PVA blends. It was observed that DCOE/PVA blends exhibited higher biodegradability, better mechanical properties, and lower moisture absorption characteristics as compared to LOE/PVA blends. The mechanical strength, moisture absorption, and biodegradability of these blends were also compared with blends of other bioresource based polymers such as sugarcane bagasse (SCB), waste gelation (WG), apple peal (AP), and starch/glycerol with PVA, as available from the cited literature in the text.     

Molecular Dynamic Evaluation of starch-PLA blends nanocomposite with organoclay by proton NMR relaxometry

Starch and PLA were used alone and in blends to prepare nanostructured materials using both hydrophilic and organophilic clays, and PVA. All nanostructured materials were obtained by the solution intercalation method using water and chloroform as solvents. These systems were characterized by using conventional X-ray diffraction (XRD), conventional NMR and the non-conventional fast field cycling (FFC) NMR technique. The spin-lattice relaxation times were measured as a function of the Larmor frequency. The FFC results showed that the starch has only one relaxation time related to the amorphous region. PLA hybrids presented two distinct spin-lattice relaxation times. The blends of the two polymers also showed two relaxation times. The renormalized Rouse formalism was applied to describe the polymer molecular dynamics behavior in the studied systems containing starch. By adding clay or PVA, differences could be observed in relaxation time corresponding to the more amorphous region, indicating that, when adding clay and PVA, the effect that each has on the dynamics of the mixture is cancelled out.     

Degradation of polymer mixtures. VIII. Blends of poly(vinyl acetate) with poly(methyl methacrylate)

The degradation of blends of PVA and PMMA in the form of films cast from a common solution of the polymers has been studied by TVA, TG, and EGA (evolved gas analysis) for acetic acid. Volatile degradation products have been characterized by spectroscopic and GLC techniques. Molecular weight, spectral and thermal stability changes in PMMA extracted from partially degraded blends have been examined. These blends behave in a closely analogous manner to PVC-PMMA blends already investigated. The results suggest that the PMMA component of the heterogeneous blends is modified in two ways: (1) in a destabilization reaction series initiated by attack of acetate radicals generated in the PVA phase which migrate into the PMMA phase, and (2) in a stabilization reaction involving conversion of ester side groups to acid and subsequently to anhydride ring structures which act as blocking points for depolymerization. The rate of acetic acid production in the blend is less than in PVA degraded alone. The mechanism of degradation of PVA is reconsidered in the light of these results.     

Biodegradable compositions by reactive processing of aliphatic polyester/polysaccharide blends

Commercially available biodegradable aliphatic polyesters, i.e., high molecular weight poly(ϵ-caprolactone) (PCL) and polylactide (PLA), were melt blended with a well-known natural and biodegradable polysaccharide: starch either as corn starch granules or as thermoplastic corn starch after plasticization with glycerol. Conventional melt blending yielded compositions with poor mechanical performances as a result of lack of interfacial adhesion between the rather hydrophobic polyester matrix and the highly hydrophilic and moisture sensitive starch phase. Interface compatibilization was achieved via two different strategies depending on the nature of the polyester chains. In case of PLA/starch compositions, PLA chains were grafted with maleic anhydride through a free radical reaction conducted by reactive extrusion. The maleic anhydride-grafted PLA chains (MAG-PLA) allowed for reinforcing the interfacial adhesion with granular starch as attested by TEM of cryofracture surface. As far as PCL/starch blends were concerned, the compatibilization was achieved via the interfacial localization of amphiphilic graft copolymers formed by grafting of PCL chains onto a polysaccharide backbone such as dextran. The PCL-grafted polysaccharide copolymers were synthesized by controlled ring-opening polymerization of ϵ-caprolactone proceeding via a coordination-insertion mechanism. These compatibilized PCL/starch compositions displayed much improved mechanical properties as determined by tensile testing as well as a much more rapid biodegradation as measured by composting testing.     

Enzymatic erosion of bioartificial membranes to control drug delivery

The preparation of an enzymatic controlled drug release system from blends of PVA/starch/alphaA, in the form of films, is described. It was shown that alphaA hydrolyses the starch within these films, resulting in a time-dependent change of the porosity in the matrix. Films were characterized by calorimetric analysis to study the interactions between the enzyme and the polymeric constituents at the molecular level. The presence of alphaA, in fact, influenced the PVA crystallization in the blends. Release tests and permeability experiments were carried out to evaluate the transport properties of the films. An increase in porosity and permeability was observed by increasing alphaA content (16-28 wt.-%). Films loaded with theophylline and caffeine were also prepared to analyze drug release properties of the matrix. Drug release kinetics were coherent with the measured changes in porosity: at higher alphaA concentrations the amount of released drug increased under the influence of diffusion and erosion processes. The results obtained are promising for the realization of drug delivery devices for a rapid release or for the release of poorly soluble drugs which usually remain entrapped in the matrix.SEM images of a PVA/starch/alphaA film before (A) and after (B) the erosion.     

Effect of Silk Fibroin Reinforcement on the Properties of Potato Starch-Polyvinyl Alcohol Blend Films

Starch and polyvinyl alcohol composite films, reinforced with raw and methylmethacrylate-grafted silk fibroin particles, were prepared by the solution-casting method on leveled plates. Silk fibroin was used as reinforcement for starch and polyvinyl alcohol (St/PVA) blends in order to improve their mechanical and water-resistance properties. The composites were plasticized with citric acid and cross-linked with gluteraldehyde. The reinforced films showed an increase in tensile strength with decrease in elongation at break. The optimized samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and were studied for their antibacterial properties. The biodegradable behavior was studied by the soil burial method.

Influence of the nanoparticle type on the thermal decomposition of the green starch/poly(vinyl alcohol)/montmorillonite nanocomposites

In this study, some aspects concerning the thermal decomposition of starch/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites with 2 wt% nanoclay, prepared by melt mixing method, were studied. For these loadings, the inorganic fillers are well dispersed through the PVA/starch matrix, i.e., the nanocomposites formed are mostly intercalated hybrids. The aim of this article is to establish the effect of the nanofiller nature on the thermal decomposition of the starch/PVA/MMT nanocomposites. The thermal behavior of the 50 wt% starch/50 wt% PVA blend and its nanocomposites with 2 wt% nanoclay has been investigated by thermogravimetric analysis coupled with Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry (MS). The volatile compounds resulting during the thermal degradation were studied by in situ vapor phase FT-IR spectroscopy and MS technique under a controlled temperature/time program. Apart from the identification of the volatile compounds, some conclusions on the nanoclays effect on the degradation mechanism and formation of the volatile compounds in accordance with the previously developed general mechanisms for PVA and starch degradation have been formulated. The clay–PVA/starch nanocomposites show completely different degradation product distribution patterns, which may be attributed to the presence of the head-to-head structures and Si–O–C linkages formed between clay and blend components.
