This study investigates the thermal stress and deformation states of bi-directional functionally graded clamped plates subjected to constant in-plane heat fluxes along two ceramic edges. The material properties of the functionally graded plates were assumed to vary with a power law along two in-plane directions not through the plate thickness direction. The spatial derivatives of thermal and mechanical properties of the material composition were considered, and the effects of the bi-directional composition variations and spatial derivative terms on the displacement, strain and stress distributions were also investigated. The heat conduction and Navier equations describing the two-dimensional thermo-elastic problem were discretized using finite-difference method, and the set of linear equations were solved using the pseudo singular value method. The compositional gradient exponents and the spatial derivatives of thermal and mechanical properties of the material composition were observed to play an important role especially on the heat transfer durations, the displacement and strain distributions, but had a minor effect on the temperature and stress distributions.

Poly(ester amide)s are attracting attention because they potentially have excellent thermal and mechanical properties as well as biodegradability. In this study, we synthesized a series of novel poly(ester amide)s by introducing γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) regularly into polyesters, and investigated their properties and biodegradabilities. GABA is the monomer unit of biodegradable polyamide 4 (PA4). The new poly(ester amide)s were synthesized from the reaction of ammonium tosylate derivatives of alkylene bis(γ-aminobutylate) and p-nitrophenyl esters of dicarboxylic acids. All the obtained polymers showed relatively high melting temperatures (Tm). Their thermal decomposition temperatures were improved in comparison with that of PA4 and higher enough than their Tm. The poly(ester amide)s exhibited higher biodegradability in seawater than the corresponding homopolyesters. Their biodegradabilities in activated sludge were also studied.

The deterioration of the physical–mechanical properties and loss of the chemical safety of plastics after consumption are topics of concern for food packaging applications. Incorporating nanoclays is an alternative to improve the performance of recycled plastics. However, properties and overall migration from polymer/clay nanocomposites to food require to be evaluated case-by-case. This work aimed to investigate the effect of organic modifier types of clays on the structural, thermal and mechanical properties and the overall migration of nanocomposites based on 50/50 virgin and recycled post-consumer polypropylene blend (VPP/RPP) and organoclays for food packaging applications. The clay with the most hydrophobic organic modifier caused higher thermal stability of the nanocomposites and greater intercalation of polypropylene between clay mineral layers but increased the overall migration to a fatty food simulant. This migration value was higher from the 50/50 VPP/RPP film than from VPP. Nonetheless, clays reduced the migration and even more when the clay had greater hydrophilicity because of lower interactions between the nanocomposite and the fatty simulant. Conversely, nanocomposites and VPP/RPP control films exhibited low migration values in the acid and non-acid food simulants. Regarding tensile parameters, elongation at break values of PP film significantly increased with RPP addition, but the incorporation of organoclays reduced its ductility to values closer to the VPP.
