Recent advances in starch–clay nanocomposites

Biological nanocomposites are a valuable addition to the existing nanocomposite materials and eventually can substitute petroleum-based composite materials in numerous applications due to their inherent advantages such as biodegradability, eco-friendliness, low cost, and easy availability to name a few. Recently, polymer–clay nanocomposites have achieved much more attention due to their enhanced properties such as size dispersion and significant enhancement in physicochemical and mechanical properties in comparison to the pure polymer systems. Among various biopolymers, starch is one of the most abundant natural polymers on the earth and is highly valuable due to its chemical and physical properties. Starch polymer has highly increased potential as an alternative to petroleum-based materials. However, starch cannot be used alone and starch–clay nanocomposite has emerged as a new potential green sustainable material. This article focuses on recent progress in starch-based nanocomposites with particular emphasis on starch–clay nanocomposite preparation, properties, and applications.     

Improvement of Fibre-Matrix-Adhesion of Natural Fibres by Chemical Treatment

Plastics, also called synthetic polymers, are playing an important role in daily living. To raise more applications it is necessary to modify known polymeric systems to reach improved materials/material systems. A possibility to create new optimised materials out of neat polymers is offered by compounding them with different filling material. Besides chemical modification of polymers, mixing, combining or use of different fillers, one possibility is given by the composite technique, whereas the combination of the polymeric matrix and the embedded reinforcement (e.g. fibre) are yielding in optimised materials adjusted to the required properties. Concerning the polymeric matrix, either thermoplastic or thermoset material can be used. In case of the reinforcement, either synthetic (carbon-, glass- or polymeric fibres) or natural fibres are introduced to composites. To obtain an appropriate adhesion of the matrix to the reinforcement system, synthetic fibres are equipped with an avivage. For natural fibres, there are no such materials available and the hydrophilic property of this system surface prevents an adhesion to hydrophobic polymers, as well as to sizings. In this paper, ways are shown to modify the natural fibres via chemical treatment to yield higher physical properties at better adhesion. Also we will explain activities on the use of natural fibres as reaction systems and processing tools as well as the attempt to isolate the different compounds of the neat fibre via selective work-up.     

Properties of Starch Blends with Biodegradable Polymers

Abstract

Starch, one of the most inexpensive and most readily available of all natural polymers, can be processed into thermoplastic materials only in the presence of plasticizers and under the action of heat and shear. Poor water resistance and low strength are limiting factors for the use of materials manufactured only from starch, and hence the modification of starch is often achieved by blending aliphatic polyesters. In this review, the literatures concerning the properties of various blends of starch and aliphatic polyesters have been summarized. The biodegradable rates of blends can be controlled to a certain extent depending on the constitutions of blends, and the mechanical properties of blends are close to those of traditional plastics such as polyethylene and polystyrene. The reduction of their sensitivity to humidity makes these materials suitable for the production of biodegradable films, injection-molded items, and foams.     

Thermoplastic starch films with vegetable oils of Brazilian Cerrado

Starch is one of the most promising natural polymers to be abundant, cheap and biodegradable. To get thermoplastic starch (TPS) is necessary mechanical shake, high temperature and use of plasticizers. In this work, TPS films were prepared by casting from cassava starch and three different vegetable oils of Brazilian Cerrado as plasticizer: buriti, macauba and pequi. The materials were analyzed by TG, DSC and TMA. Thermal properties of oils depend on their chemical structures. Starch and vegetable oils are natural resources that can be used how alternative to producing materials that cause minor environmental impact.     

Crystalline starch based nanoparticles

Starch is an abundant, natural, renewable, and biodegradable polymer produced by many plants as a source of stored energy. Because of the multiscale structure of starch granules consisting of alternating crystalline and amorphous concentric layers, the controlled acid hydrolysis treatment of starch disrupts this organization and releases crystalline platelet-like particles with nanoscale dimensions. This paper intends to provide a comprehensive overview of their preparation, characterization, properties, and applications.     

Fractal geometry analysis of chemical structure of natural starch modification as a green biopolymeric product

Public concerns and official pressures around environmental protection as well as exhausting petroleum resources have brought about preferences in studying and applying environmental-friendly polymers instead of synthetic petroleum-based polymers. For this aim, biopolymers can have outstanding advantages in biodegradability by saving time, energy and effort spent on increasingly costs of polymeric wastes. Natural starch (being studied in this work), as one of the most abundant natural resources for polymer materials, is inexpensive and biodegradable. As starch necessarily needs for modifications and processing before being used as ideal green polymer material, it is vital to perform feature extraction and defect detection measures in structure by some method like image analysis. Fractal as a new geometry has circumstantially progressed recently in the fields of image processing, physical space–time, medical image analysis, electrochemical patterns, digital images, sounds etc. Box Count Fractal Dimension as a very important and popular part of fractal geometry can be a useful factor in feature extraction and pattern recognition. This paper presents a new method for defect detection in the structure of natural starch modification images using the fractal dimension (FD) along with mean and standard deviation of image color. This is performed via feature extraction based on artificial intelligence by MatLab R2013a for box counting algorithms. Otsu’s graythresh method by MatLab R2013a is applied to binarize the images. The results of proposed methodology are illustrated as log–log curves where the fractal dimensions are recognized by curve fitting (CF) tool with more than 95% accuracy. The outputs express that starch samples’ FD vary in the range from 1.636 to 1.926 among which the last is identified as non-defective polymer. Non-defective feature is of great importance for quality control measures and chemical reactivity being here highlighted as biodegradability.     

NMR relaxometry evaluation of nanostructured starch-PLA blends

Blends formed by starch and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) are very promising from environmental and economic standpoints, because starch is an abundant and cheap natural polymer and PLA is a biodegradable polymer that has good mechanical properties. In this study, starch-PLA blends were prepared by solution casting, employing chloroform and distilled water as a solvent pair. Then, dispersions containing 1, 3 and 5% montmorillonite clay and a dispersion containing 0.1% silica were added to the starch-PLA blends. The new materials obtained were characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis and, especially, nuclear low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) relaxometry to measure the proton spin-lattice relaxation. All blends composed of starch and PLA showed significant increase in relaxation time due to the homogenous mixing of both polymers as a consequence of strong intermolecular interaction between them. Addition of clays caused substantial modification of the material and a large unique domain was observed. As a consequence, the domains corresponding to pure polymers were not observed. With the addition of the clay NT25, intermediate degradation temperatures were observed at concentrations of 3 and 5%, compared to the degradation temperatures of pure polymers. The X-ray diffraction results indicated the formation of an intercalated nanocomposite. There was an increase in the organization of the material compared to previous results observed for polymeric material, indicating the formation of an intercalated structure.
