Abstract: | A contact probe methodology, based on the voltammetry of immobilized microparticle approach, is used for characterizing silver species present in linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) films with different Ag(I)/Ag(0) ratios and silver nanoparticle features usable as food contact polymers. The films displayed characteristic voltammetric features in contact with aqueous acetate buffer, in particular signals for the stripping oxidation of nanoparticulate Ag systems. Significant differences between the studied films were also observed by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and detected at the nanoscopic scale using electrochemical scanning microscopy. Differences in optical and thermal properties of the studied films are associated with the presence of silver nanoparticles. The silver oxidation state as well as nanoparticle size also had influence on the oxidative resistance of the LLDPE films; indeed, films containing cationic silver showed the lowest oxidation induction time value. |
