Studies of chitosan. I. Preparation and characterization of chitosan/poly(vinyl alcohol) blend films

Various blending ratios of chitosan/poly (vinyl alcohol) (CS/PVA) blend films were prepared by solution blend method in this study. The thermal properties and chemical structure characterization of the CS/PVA blend films were examined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). Based upon the observation on the DSC thermal analysis, the melting point of PVA is decreased when the amount of CS in the blend film is increased. The FTIR absorption characteristic is changed when the amount of CS in the blend film is varied. Results of X‐ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicate that the intensity of diffraction peak at 19° of PVA becomes lower and broader with increasing the amount of CS in the CS/PVA blend film. This trend illustrates that the existence of CS decreases the crystallinity of PVA. Although both PVA and CS are hydrophilic biodegradable polymers, the results of water contact angle measurement are still shown as high as 68° and 83° for PVA and for CS films, respectively. A minimum water contact angle (56°) was observed when the blend film contains 50 wt % CS. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 2007

Development of biopolymer composite films based on chicory extract reinforced polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan blend via green approach for flexible optoelectrical devices

Biopolymer blend composite films based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and chitosan (CS) incorporated with varying amounts of chicory extract (CE) have been developed by the green solution casting technique. The impact of CE content on structural, thermal, mechanical and electrical properties was thoroughly examined. The existence of intermolecular interactions in the blend composite was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared and ultraviolet spectroscopy. The x-ray diffraction pattern proved the successful preparation of PVA/CS/CE composite film. The scanning electron microscopy images of the composites showed shape and grain size for the different bio-filler contents. The thermal transition temperature of the blend composites was significantly improved by the addition of CE extract deduced from differential scanning calorimetry. The dielectric study showed that the permittivity remarkably increases with decreasing frequency and maximum dielectric constant was observed for 15 wt% loading. The activation energy obtained from the AC conductivity decreased as the temperature increased. The addition of CE extract improved the hardness and tensile strength of the PVA/CS blend composite in comparison with a pristine pure blend. The controllable mechanical, thermal, optical, and electrical characteristics of the PVA/CS blend composite suggest that it might be an attractive optical material for the advancement of futuristic flexible-type optoelectronic and energy storage systems.     

Bio‐nanocomposite films based on cellulose nanocrystals filled polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan polymer blend

Bio‐nanocomposite films based on polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan (PVA/CS) polymeric blend and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) were prepared by casting a homogenous and stable aqueous mixture of the three components. CNC used as nanoreinforcing agents were extracted at the nanometric scale from sugarcane bagasse via sulfuric acid hydrolysis; then they were characterized and successfully dispersed into a PVA/CS (50/50, w/w) blend to produce PVA/CS–CNC bio‐nanocomposite films at different CNC contents (0.5, 2.5, 5 wt %). Viscosity measurement of the film‐forming solutions and structural and morphological characterizations of the solid films showed that the CNC are well dispersed into PVA/CS blend forming strong interfacial interactions that provide an enhanced load transfer between polymer chains and CNC, thus improving their properties. The obtained bio‐nanocomposite films are mechanically strong and exhibit improved thermal properties. The addition of 5 wt % CNC within a PVA/CS blend increased the Young's modulus by 105%, the tensile strength by 77%, and the toughness by 68%. Herein, the utilization of Moroccan sugarcane bagasse as raw material to produce high quality CNC has been explored. Additionally, the ability of the as‐isolated CNC to reinforce polymer blends was studied, resulting in the production of the aforementioned bio‐nanocomposite films with improved properties. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation and characterization of LDPE/PVA blend films filled with glycerin‐plasticized polyvinyl alcohol

A series of LDPE/PVA blend films were prepared via a twin‐screw extruder, and their morphology, thermal property, oxygen and water vapor permeation, surface properties, and mechanical properties were investigated as a function of the PVA content. During the extrusion process of the blend films, glycerin improved the compatibility and processing conditions between LDPE and PVA. The melting temperature (T_m), melting enthalpy (ΔH_m), crystallinity (%), and thermal stability of the thermal decomposition temperature (T_5%) of the LDPE/PVA blend films decreased with increasing PVA content. The oxygen permeabilities of the blend films decreased from 24.0 to 11.4 cm³·cm (m²·day·atm)^?1 at 23°C. The WVTR increased from 7.8 to 15.0 g(m² day)^?1 and the water uptake increased from 0.13 to 9.31%, respectively. The mechanical properties of blend films were slightly enhanced up to 2% PVA and then decreased. The physical properties of the blend films strongly varied with the chemical structure and morphology depending on the PVA and glycerin. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Enhancement of water barrier properties of cassava starch-based biodegradable films using silica particles

Biodegradable films are used in a variety of applications, including packaging. However, their use is limited due to their high moisture and water sensitivity. In this work, cassava starch (CS) was blended with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). Silica particles (SiO₂) were incorporated to increase the hydrophobicity of the blend by intermolecular interaction through hydrogen bonding between the three components. Instead of a plasticizer or crosslinker, a small amount of triethylamine was added to eliminate residual acetate groups in PVA. The miscibility of CS and PVA phases was confirmed by smooth fracture surfaces and a single glass transition temperature. When SiO₂ content was below 5% (wt), the particles were well dispersed in a continuous phase of polymer matrix. At this loading of SiO₂, the increase in tensile strength was as high as 170% and in elongation-at-break, 250%. All loadings of SiO₂ increased thermal stability of the blend films because silanol groups on the surface of SiO₂ particles formed effective interfacial interactions with hydroxyl groups of the polymers. These interactions also prevented the ingress of water molecules, significantly increasing the hydrophobicity of the films. The water contact angle increased as high as 113° and moisture absorbency and water solubility were low. These highly hydrophobic, photodegradable, biodegradable CS/PVA/SiO₂ films show great potential as a low-cost, eco-friendly material.

     

Effects of halloysite nanotubes and kaolin loading on the tensile,swelling, and oxidative degradation properties of poly(vinyl alcohol)/chitosan blends

[Halloysite nanotubes (HNT)]‐filled and kaolin filled composite films based on poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/chitosan (CS) blend were prepared via solution casting method. Tensile properties, fracture morphology, FTIR spectra, thermal stability, swelling properties, moisture absorption, and oxidative degradation of the composite films were investigated. Addition of 0.5 wt% of filler led to the optimum tensile properties of the films. Increased roughness and tearing in the fracture surface morphology supported the tensile results. The FTIR results indicated there were physical interactions present in the composite films. Thermal stability of the composite films differed slightly where PVA/CS/HNT composite films showed better thermal stability than PVA/CS/kaolin composite films. Moreover, the presence of HNT and kaolin fillers in the blend reduced the swelling and moisture absorption properties of the films. Finally, the composite films were degraded by using Fenton's reagent. Degradation percentage of the composite films decreased with increasing filler loading. J. VINYL ADDIT.

Water stability of high‐molecular‐weight (HMW) syndiotacticity‐rich poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/HMW atactic PVA/iodine complex blend films

To precisely identify the effect of blend ratios of syndiotacticity‐rich poly(vinyl alcohol) (s‐PVA)/atactic PVA (a‐PVA) on the water stability of s‐PVA/a‐PVA/iodine complex blend films, we prepared two PVAs with similar number‐averaged degrees of polymerization of 4000 and degrees of saponification of 99.9% and with different syndiotactic diad contents of 58.5 and 53.5%, respectively. The desorption behavior of iodine in s‐PVA/a‐PVA/iodine complex films in water was investigated in terms of the solubility of s‐PVA/a‐PVA blend films in water. The degree of solubility of s‐PVA/a‐PVA blend films with s‐PVA content over 50% in water at 70°C was limited to about 10–20%, whereas that of s‐PVA/a‐PVA blend films with s‐PVA content of 10% was 85% under the same conditions. The degree of iodine desorption of complex blend films decreased with increasing s‐PVA content. The degree of iodine desorption of s‐PVA/a‐PVA drawn film with s‐PVA content of 90% was limited to 7%, regardless of the soaking temperature from 30 to 70°C. The desorption of iodine in water was strongly affected by the dissolution of blends. Moreover, the stability of iodine in the drawn s‐PVA/a‐PVA/iodine blend films in hot water was far superior to that of the undrawn film. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation and characterization of poly(vinyl alcohol) and gelatin blend films

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) is a water-soluble polymer that has been studied intensively because of several interesting physical properties that are useful in technical applications, including biochemical and medical applications. In this article, we report the effects of the addition of gelatin on the optical, microstructural, thermal, and electrical properties of PVA. Pure and PVA/gelatin blend films were prepared with the solution-casting method. These films were further investigated with Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy, and dielectric measurements. The FTIR spectrum shows a strong chemical interaction between PVA and gelatin molecules with the formation of new peaks. These peaks are due to the presence of gelatin in the blend films. The DSC results indicate that the addition of gelatin to PVA changes the thermal behavior, such as the melting temperature of PVA, and this shows that the blends are compatible with each other. This also shows that the interaction of gelatin and PVA molecules changes the crystallite parameters and the degree of crystallinity, and this supports the XRD results. The UV–vis optical study also reflects the formation of the complex and its effect on the microstructure of the blend film. Moreover, the addition of gelatin also gives rise to changes in the electrical properties of PVA/gelatin blend films. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008     

Characterization of polyvinyl alcohol/gelatin blend hydrogel films for biomedical applications

In the present investigation, attempt was made to prepare blend hydrogel by esterification of polyvinyl alcohol with gelatin. The blend hydrogel was further converted into films by the conventional solution‐casting method. These films were characterized by FTIR, DSC, and X‐ray diffraction studies. The refractive index and viscosity of different composition of the blends were measured in the solution phase of the material. The mechanical properties of the blend films were measured by tensile test. Swelling behavior of the blend hydrogel was also studied. The FTIR spectrum of the blend film indicated complete esterification of the free carboxylic group of gelatin. The DSC results indicate that the addition of gelatin with PVA changes the thermal behavior like melting temperature of PVA, which may be due to the miscibility of PVA with gelatin. The interaction of gelatin with PVA molecule changes the crystallite parameters and the degree of crystallinity. The crystallinity of the blend film was mainly due to gelatin. The comparison of viscosity indicated an increase in the segment density within the molecular coil. The results revealed the changes observed in the properties of the gel, and it enhances the gel formation at viscoelastic phase of the material. The blend film had sufficient strength and water‐holding capacity. The results obtained indicated that the blend film could be used for various biomedical applications such as wound dressing and drug‐delivery systems. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
