Biodegradable Polyethylene (PE) may be used in the fabrication of plastic films which can replace common films prepared from nondegradable polymers. A photodegradable polyethylene composite film was prepared by mixing titanium dioxide/poly(ethylene oxide) into the PE matrix (PE/TiO2/PEO). The composites films were prepared using 0-3 wt.% of TiO2 and 0-10 wt.% of PEO by melt mixing. It was then compression molded in to films at 180 ◦C. The photo-degradation test was performed under 400 W UV lamp in the ambient air. The resulting composite materials were investigated by the Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), weight loss monitoring, and Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The PE/TiO2/PEO composites film showed a high photocatalytic activity, the weight loss rate of it is about two times higher than that of PE/TiO2 film and ten times higher than that of neat PE film. The FTIR spectra films after UV irradiation showed that the carbonyl peak intensity for composite films the intensity is greater than that of neat PE film. The degraded PEO produced an acid and an aldehyde, which were able to facilitate PE degradation and the addition of PEO/TiO2 brought about the facilitative effect of the PE degradation.

Initial Viscosity

Aqueous solutions of a 1 weight-per cent poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) were degassed under vacuum, transferred to a parallel plate viscometer under a nitrogen gas blanket, and exposed to Co60 gamma radiation. The Co60 source was rated at 4000 curies, and the dose ratewas 3.8x105 rads/hr. The poly (ethylene oxide) employed in the irradiations had an initial viscosity average molecular weight of 2.1 x 106.The solutions were gelled by a free radical reaction with dosages ranging from 5x104 rads to 4.8x106 rads.

Hydrolysis Of

A new procedure has been developed, which is based on homogeneous precipitation of organized mesoporous silica from an aqueous solution of sodium metasilicate and a nonionic poly(ethylene oxide) surfactant serving as a structure-directing agent. The decrease in pH, which induces the polycondensation of silica, is achieved by hydrolysis of ethyl acetate. Owing to the complexation of Na+ cations by poly(ethylene oxide) segments, assembling of the mesostructure appears to occur under electrostatic control by the S0Na+I- pathway, where S0 and I- are surfactant and inorganic species, respectively. As the complexation of Na+ cations causes extended conformation of poly(ethylene oxide) segments, the pore size and pore volume of organized mesoporous silica increase in comparison with materials prepared under neutral or acidic conditions. The assembling of particles can be fully separated from their solidification, which results in the formation of highly regular spherical particles of mesoporous silica.
