Highly filled bio-composites based on ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) with cellulose and wood flour were prepared in the previous parts of the study. The aim of this work was to dilute them with a polyethylene (PE), to prepare new bio-composites with lower EVA content and to investigate the effect of EVA/PE ratio on the mechanical properties. It was shown that melt flow index (MFI) and elongation at break increased additively with an increase of EVA content in the composition, but yield strength had an inverse tendency. The obtained results are extremely useful for choosing the right composition for the industrial implementation.

The article presents naked-eye methods for fast, sensitive, and selective detection of isopentylamine and cadaverine vapours based on 4-N,N-dioctylamino-4′-dicyanovinylazobenzene (CR-528) and 4-N,N-dioctylamino-2′-nitro-4′-dicyanovinylazobenzene (CR-555) dyes immobilized in ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA). The reaction of CR-528/EVA and CR-555/EVA indicator layers with isopentylamine vapours caused a vivid colour change from pink/purple to yellow/orange-yellow. Additionally, CR-555/EVA showed colour changes upon exposure to cadaverine. The colour changes were analysed by ultraviolet–visible (UV/VIS) molecular absorption spectroscopy for amine quantification, and the method was partially validated for the detection limit, sensitivity, and linear concentration range. The lowest detection limits were reached with CR-555/EVA indicator layers (0.41 ppm for isopentylamine and 1.80 ppm for cadaverine). The indicator layers based on EVA and dicyanovinyl azobenzene dyes complement the existing library of colorimetric probes for the detection of biogenic amines and show great potential for food quality control.
