Management of moisture penetration and hydrolytic degradation of polylactide (PLA) is extremely important during the manufacturing, shipping, storage, and end-use of PLA products. Moisture transport, crystallization, and degradation, in PLA have been measured through a variety of experimental techniques including size-exclusion chromatography, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction. Quartz crystal microbalance and dynamic vapor sorption experiments have also been used to measure moisture sorption isotherms in PLA films with varying crystallinity. A surprising result is that, within the accuracy of the experiments, crystalline and amorphous PLA films exhibit identical sorption isotherms.  相似文献

The sorption behavior of small molecules like ethane and ethylene in poly (lactic acid) (PLA) was studied in the temperature interval from 283 to 313 K using a Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM). The effect of the polymer structure on the solubility selectivity of PLA films with respect to these two gases was studied using polymer with two different L:D ratios (98:2 and 80:20). Furthermore, the polymer films were submitted to different thermal treatments to address the influence of crystallinity and morphology of the noncrystalline fraction on the sorption behavior. The sorption results obtained indicate that ethylene solubility coefficient in annealed PLA 98:2 is about 26% higher than that of ethane and 41% higher in PLA 98:2 melted. The dual‐mode sorption model describes well the sorption isotherms behavior, which is concave concerning the pressure axis. The fully amorphous PLA presents the better selectivity for the studied gases, since the crystallinity seems to produce a negative effect on the selectivity. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The objective of this work is to study the gas/vapor sorption in poly(lactic acid) (PLA) with a 98:2 (l:d) ratio using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). For that purpose, the sorption of carbon dioxide, ethylene and water vapor in poly(lactic acid) (PLA) with a 98:2 (l:d) ratio, in temperature range from 283 to 313 K and up to atmospheric pressure was measured. The measured isotherms indicate that the sorption mechanism is sorbate dependent, since carbon dioxide and ethylene seem to have predominantly a Langmuir type of mechanism while water is predominantly Henry controlled. Two temperature protocols were used and only ethylene sorption is affected by them. Comparisons with previously measured gas sorption data in PLA 80:20 using the same temperature protocol indicate that the l:d ratio plays a dominant role in gas/vapor sorption in PLA.  相似文献

The sorption of carbon dioxide in glassy Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) films was studied by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) at high pressures. Two thermal treatments, melted and quenched, were performed in PLA with two different L:D contents, 80:20 and 98:2, films and compared with a third thermal protocol, annealed, and used in a previous work. The results obtained show that for pressures higher than 2 MPa, the carbon dioxide solubility is larger in PLA 80:20 than in PLA 98:2, indicating that the L:D plays a dominant role on this property. The thermal treatments only affect the gas solubility in PLA 98:2. Sorption isotherms at temperatures 303, 313, and 323 K, below the glass transition temperature of the polymer, and pressures up to 5 MPa were measured and analyzed with three different models, the dual‐mode sorption model, the Flory–Huggins equation, and a modified dual‐mode sorption model where the Henry's law term was substituted by the Flory–Huggins equation. This last model performs especially well for CO2 in PLA 80:20, due to the convex upward curvature of the solubility isotherms for that system. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA)/PEG/nano-silica composite degradable films have been prepared by solvent casting method. IR measurements showed that vibration of C–O–C group was confined by silica network. SEM results showed that nano-silica particles were dispersed uniformly in the PLA/PEG matrix. TGA results indicated that the thermal decomposition temperature rose with the increase of nano-silica content. The tensile strength of composite film increased by the addition of nano-silica particles into PLA/PEG matrix. The degradation rate of PLA/PEG/nano-silica composites increased with the acidic medium of degradation. On the other hand, the slower degradation was obtained in the neutral buffer solution. PLA/PEG/nano-silica composites were found to exhibit almost similar degradation behavior as that of PLA/PEG films.  相似文献

Knowledge of sorption isotherms of leather products is necessary to control rehydration/dehydration and storage processes and it is valuable tool for prediction of the stability and shelf life of products but the impact of the controlled climate on moisture sorption isotherms of leather remains unclear. The aim of this work is to predict moisture desorption isotherms of leather of bovine variety. The static gravimetric method was used to determine sorption isotherms at four temperatures (30, 40, 50 and 60 °C) and the equilibrium moisture content of leather samples was measured within the range of 5–90% relative. All the curves exhibited type II behavior, according to Brunauer’s classification. Equilibrium moisture contents are observed to drop as the temperature is enhanced. Many models available in the literature were used to describe the experimental data. The agreement between experimental and calculated sorption isotherms is seen to be satisfactory (correlation coefficients from 0.93 to 0.99). Furthermore, DENT model is found to be the most appropriate for describing the relationship between the equilibrium moisture content, the water activity and temperature. On the other hand, the isosteric heats of desorption were determined from sorption isotherms and then correlated with corresponding equilibrium moisture contents. Besides, the isosteric heats of desorption decreased continuously with increasing of the equilibrium moisture content.  相似文献

In order to understand the essential processes/interactions between the metal ions and modified electrodes which are based on complexing polymeric films, access to thermodynamic characteristics is compulsory. The paper enlarges the information concerning the sorption of metal ions within complexing polymer films, particularly based on azulene, which can be involved in metal detection sensors. Interactions between lead(II) or cadmium(II) ions and complexing polymer films have been studied using chemical preconcentration–anodic stripping method. The films have been obtained by controlled potential electrolysis in millimolar solutions of 4-azulen-1-yl-2,6-bis(2-thienyl)pyridine (L) in acetonitrile. PolyL films affinities towards these metal ions have been quantified at different temperatures by means of sorption isotherms. Parameters for sorption of lead(II) and cadmium(II) ions within polyL films have been calculated for Freundlich, Langmuir and Redlich–Peterson isotherms. The best fit was obtained when using Langmuir isotherm. The results evidence that lead ions are better sorbed than cadmium within polyL film. Thermodynamic parameters for the chemical sorption of lead(II) and cadmium(II) ions within polyL films have been calculated.  相似文献

The moisture sorption kinetic profiles of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) earlywood and latewood were studied using a Dynamic Vapour Sorption apparatus and the equilibrium isotherms determined. The samples were chosen to give an insight to the effects that photodegradation and weathering have on the moisture behaviour of the surface layers of timber. Samples were subjected to indoor and outdoor exposure regimes. Significant differences were found between the sorption isotherms of exposed and unexposed wood, as well as with the sorption kinetics profiles. The reasons for these differences are discussed.  相似文献

Differential sorption and degradation of different pesticide stereoisomers in soil may result in accumulation of the most strongly sorbed and the slowest degradable isomers. In this work the pyrethroid cypermethrin (8 isomers) has been used for test of stereochemical interactions with surfaces of the minerals quartz, corundum, goethite, kaolinite and montmorillonite. The sorption of three diastereoisomeric fractions denoted Cis A, Trans C and Cis B + Trans D were quantified by use of GC-ECD in batch experiments with initial cypermethrin concentrations in the range 1-9 µg/L. Correction for cypermethrin sorbed to surfaces of the shaking flasks were accomplished to obtain net sorption isotherms for the minerals, all of which were well fitted by the Freundlich equation. Bonding affinities per unit surface area decreased in the order: corundum > quartz > kaolinite > montmorillonite > goethite. The isotherms for sorption of all diastereoisomeric fractions to quartz, corundum and goethite were all linear, whereas non-linear isotherms were found for sorption of Cis A and Trans C fractions to kaolinite and montmorillonite. Corundum, quartz and goethite showed a significantly stronger sorption of Cis A than the other fractions, while kaolinite sorbed Cis B + Trans D most strongly. The observed differences predict less leaching and slower degradation of the Cis A fraction in subsoils low in organic carbon.  相似文献

Isotherms of water vapor sorption by fibers of aromatic polyamides of several types have been obtained in a wide range of relative pressures (p/p s from 0 to 0.8–0.9). It has been shown that different values of moisture sorption determined from sorption isotherms correlate with molecular and structural characteristics, such as the thermodynamic rigidity of macromolecules, the integral specific surface area with respect to an inactive sorbate (krypton), the average off-orientation angle, and the phase state of the structure. It has been speculated that a difference in the moisture sorption of the test fibers is primarily related to their phase structure, particularly, to the prevalence of either a mesophase or crystalline order.  相似文献

In this work, ZnO nanoparticles loaded cellulose acetate (ZOLCA) films have been prepared and characterized by XRD, SPR and SEM analysis. The moisture permeation properties of the films have been investigated. The GAB isotherm model has been found to fit well on the moisture uptake data obtained at different temperatures. The monolayer sorption capacity χm was found to decrease from 0.059 to 0.0079 g water/g dry film with increase in temperature from 20 to 37°C. The isosteric heat of sorption, when studied in the lower water activity range of 0.04 to 0.10, was evaluated to be 46.55 to 87.29 kJ/mol. The water vapor permeability across the ZOLCA films was found to increase with temperature and activation energy of moisture sorption process was found to be 48.57 kJ/mol. These films have shown excellent antibacterial action against model bacteria E-Coli when investigated by qualitative and quantitative methods. Films exhibit great potential to be used as edible films to protect food stuff against microbial infections.  相似文献

Sorption isotherms, sorption enthalpies, and diffusion coefficients for water in an 11 μm thick PEO/PAA multi-layer film have been measured at 30, 40, and 60 °C for relative humidities between 0 and 70%. All quantities were measured on the same film using the quartz crystal microbalance/heat conduction calorimeter. Water diffusion coefficients in the film are several orders of magnitude lower than in the separate components. Sorption isotherms are of type III at 30 and 40 °C and linear at 60 °C. Water vapor permeabilities are calculated as the product of Henry's law solubility and diffusion coefficient. The permeability of the PEO/PAA multilayer film is exceedingly low compared to other polymer films used as membranes. The enthalpy of water sorption determined from the sorption isotherms using the van’t Hoff relation is 32.9 ± 0.3 kJ/mol. Calorimetric enthalpies of water sorption range from 42 to 34 kJ/mol at 30 and 40 °C over the humidity range studied. The change in motional resistance, a quantity proportion to the loss compliance of the film, has also been recorded at all three temperatures, and a common trend is an increase in loss compliance with increasing relative humidity, indicating plasticization of the film by water.  相似文献

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.  相似文献

This work describes moisture sorption behavior and water vapor permeability of glutaraldehyde-crosslinked carrageenan/polyvinyl alcohol (Carr/PVA) films. The moisture uptake has been studied under various relative humidity (RH) and the data obtained has been interpreted in the terms of various isotherm models such as GAB, Oswin and Halsey models. The moisture permeability through the films has been characterized in the terms of various parameters like water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), permeance (P) and water vapor permeability (WVP). It was found that these parameters are greatly affected by the degree of crosslinking of the films. Finally, the model drug Gentamycin Sulphate was loaded in to the films and its release was monitored kinetically in the physiological buffer (PF) at 37°C. The films exhibited diffusion controlled release mechanism. The films are non-cytotoxic.  相似文献

A series of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) films that including fully paraben substituted triazine derivatives having anti-bacterial properties have been prepared by utilizing the solvent-casting method. PLA as biodegradable polymer, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as a plasticizing agent and s-triazine molecules (TA01, TA02, TA03, TA04, and TA05) behaving as an anti-bacterial component have been utilized in the experiments. The influence of TA compounds on the antibacterial performance of PLA/PEG films was investigated for the first time against Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria via the contact active method. TA01-03-05 incorporated PLA/PEG films gave the best results against E.coli bacteria and log10 reductions of these films were 0.78, 0.64, and 0.65 respectively. The effect of TA compounds on the cell viability was investigated against cancer and non-cancerous cell lines using an MTS assay. The results showed that TA compounds had a positive effect on cell growth in non-cancerous cells, while they had a negative effect on cell growth in cancer cells. Furthermore, the addition of TA considerably increased the decomposition temperatures from 349° to 361° and char yield from 0.65 for PLA/PEG film to 2.3 for PLA/PEG/TA05. All of the films had good transparency and low opacity which was 7.2 for pure PLA used for control and the maximum opacity value was 11.2 observed for PLA/PEG/01. TA03 and TA04 caused a decrement of water vapor permission when compared to PLA/PEG films from 1439 to 749 and 664. It was also observed that pure PLA/PEG film lost weight rapidly over time during degradation tests. On the other hand, weight loss wasn't observed in PLA/PEG/TA films. This study focused on demonstrating the use of our new, flexible PLA/PEG derivatives in food and medical packaging.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the water vapor adsorption behavior and mechanical properties of poly (lactic acid) (PLA)/zeolite (5, 10, or 15 phr) composites prepared with triethyl citrate (TEC; 20 phr) via a melting process. TEC was used to improve the flexibility of the PLA and the dispersibility of the zeolite in TEC-zeolite suspensions that were ultra-sonicated. It was found that zeolite was uniformly dispersed in the PLA matrix, and the interfacial adhesion between the PLA matrix and zeolite was enhanced by TEC. In addition, the tensile strengths and Young's modulus of the composites improved with increasing zeolite content. The PLA/zeolite composites prepared with TEC had increased water vapor permeability and contact angles compared to neat PLA and standard PLA/zeolite due to the presence of TEC. In particular, TEC accelerated the hydrolysis of the PLA surface in a high humidity environment, resulting in an improvement in water vapor sorption capacity. At the same zeolite content of 15 phr, the equilibrium moisture content (EMC) values of PLA/zeolite films prepared with TEC increased by up to 39.25 mg/g whereas those prepared without TEC only increased by up to 24.33 mg/g. The results suggest the possibility of applying PLA/zeolite films prepared with TEC as a flexible active packaging material.  相似文献

Two novel biodegradable copolymers, including poly(ethylene glycol)-succinate copolymer (PES) and poly(ethylene glycol)-succinate-l-lactide copolymer (PESL), have been successfully synthesized via melt polycondensation using SnCl2 as a catalyst. The copolymers were used to toughen PLA by melt blending. The DSC and SEM results indicated that the two copolymers were compatible well with PLA, and the compatibility of PESL was superior to that of PES. The results of tensile testing showed that the extensibility of PLA was largely improved by blending with PES or PESL. At same blending ratios, the elongation at break of PLA/PESL blends was far higher than that of PLA/PES ones. The elongation maintained stable through aging for 3 months. The moisture absorption of the blends enhanced due to the strong moisture absorption of PEG segments in PES or PESL molecules, which did not directly lead to enhance the hydrolytic degradation rate of the PLA. The PLA blends containing 20–30 wt% PES or PESL were high transparent materials with high light scattering. The toughening PLA materials could potentially be used as a soft biodegradable packaging material or a special optical material.  相似文献

A simple and easy method based on differential drying of samples at different temperatures has been proposed for quantitative determination of the specific surface areas of colloidal disperse systems. The following fundamental dependence of moisture thermodynamic potential [ψ] on absolute drying temperature T is used in the method: ψ = QaT, where Q is the specific heat of evaporation and a is a parameter related to the initial temperature and relative air humidity in an external thermodynamic reservoir (laboratory apartment). Gravimetric data on moisture mass fraction W and the value of ψ have been used to plot Polanyi potential curves W(ψ) for the studied samples. The curves have been employed to calculate the isotherms of moisture sorption. The capacity of a monolayer and the effective specific surface area have been determined from these isotherms in terms of the BET theory. The surface area estimated from the published results of classical experiments is about 1000 m2/g. The problem of the “absolute zero of humidity,” which is of great importance for determining the properties of colloidal disperse bodies normalized with respect to the solid phase mass, has been discussed.  相似文献

Polylactide (PLA) is a potential candidate for the partial replacement of petrochemical polymers because it is biodegradable and produced from annually renewable resources. Characterized by its high tensile strength, unfortunately the brittleness and rigidity limit its applicability. For a great number of applications such as packaging, fibers, films, etc., it is of high interest to formulate new PLA grades with improved flexibility and better impact properties.In order to develop PLA-based biodegradable packaging, the physico-mechanical properties of commercially available PLA should be modified using biodegradable plasticizers. To this end, PLA was melt-mixed with blends of tributyl citrate and more thermally stable low molecular weight block copolymers based on poly(d,l-lactide) and poly(ethylene glycol) of different molecular weights and topologies. The copolymers have been synthesized using a potassium based catalyst which is expected to be non toxic and were characterized by utilization of TGA, GPC and NMR techniques.The effect of the addition of up to 25 wt% plasticizer on the thermo-mechanical properties of PLA was investigated and the results were correlated with particular attention to the relationship between properties and applications.To confirm the safety of the catalyst used for the preparation of the copolymers, in vitro cytotoxicity tests have been carried out using MTS assay and the results show their biocompatibility in the presence of the fibroblast cells.Compost biodegradation experiments carried out using neat and plasticized PLA have shown that the presence of plasticizers accelerates the degradation of the PLA matrix.  相似文献

The influence of adverse conditions of environment in the case of baby formulas, which are multiple mixtures, should be minimised. Water activity (a w) and moisture content, correlated through sorption isotherms, and glass transition temperature have been considered relevant parameters to describe food stability. The aim of the study was to analyse water activity and glass transition temperature as the function of water content for samples of baby formulas. Three types of baby formulas (mixture, agglomerate, coated agglomerate) were determined by sorption isotherms, DSC and MDSC. DSC curves of mixture, agglomerate and coated agglomerate did not show differences in shape and course. The glass transition temperature of powders stored at different water activities was measured and it decreased with the increase in moisture content, confirming the strong plasticising effect of water on this property. Critical water activities varied from 0.14 to 0.68 and critical moisture contents varied from 0.032 to 0.062 g g?1 powder.  相似文献
