This work reports the preparation of a ceramic hybrid composite film with illite and polyethylene (illite-PE), and the evaluation of the freshness-maintaining properties such as oxygen transmission rate (OTR), water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), tensile strength, and in vitro cytotoxicity. The particle size of the illite material was controlled to within 10 μm. The illite-PE masterbatch and film were prepared using a twin-screw extruder and a blown film maker, respectively. The dispersity and contents of illite material in each masterbatch and composite film were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). In addition, the OTR and WVTR of the illite-PE composite film were 8315 mL/m2·day, and 13.271 g/m2·day, respectively. The in vitro cytotoxicity of the illite-PE composite film was evaluated using L929 cells, and showed a cell viability of more than 92%. Furthermore, the freshness-maintaining property was tested for a packaging application with bananas; it was found to be about 90%, as indicated by changes in the color of the banana peel, after 12 days.

 Cellulose from pineapple leaf fibers as one of the natural polymer which has biodegradable property in a nanometer’s scale, can be formed as a filler in composite of Poly(vinyl) Alcohol/PVA is expected to increase the physical, thermal, and barrier properties of composite films similar to conventional plastic. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of fibrillation of cellulose fibers from pineapple leaf fibers using a combined technique of chemical-mechanical treatments, to investigate the reinforcing effect of concentration of nanocellulose fibrils in the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix on physical properties, thermal properties, water vapor transmission rate, light transmittance and morphological with and without addition of glycerol. Nanocellulose was made from cellulose of pineapple leaf fiber using wet milling (Ultra Fine Grinder). The composite film production was carried out by using casting solution method by mixing PVA solution with nanocellulose (10-50%) and glycerol (0-1%). The characterization of film covered physical properties (thickness, moisture content and density), thermal properties, permeability (WVTR), light transmittance, morphology, and crystallinity. Nanocellulose from pineapple leaf fibers was produced by Ultra Fine Grinder shows that the size reduction process was accurate. Nanocellulose addition on PVA composite film was affected to increasing the physical, thermal, and barrier properties. Meanwhile, decreasing the percentage of composite film transmittance, thus the transparency decrease (opaque). Water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) the film was increased with increasing glycerol concentration, but the physical and thermal properties was decreased.

ABSTRAK  Penggunaan edible film menghasilkan limbah dan polusi yang lebih sedikit, namun karakteristiknya masih belum mendekati sifat kemasan sintetis. Salah satu karakteristik yang perlu diperbaiki adalah daya serap air/WVTR (Water Vapor Transmission Rate). Pada penelitian ini dilakukan studi literatur mengenai pengaruh jenis dan konsentrasi pemlastis (gliserol dan sorbitol) terhadap karakteristik WVTR edible film dari pektin kulit pisang. Literatur yang akan dikaji dalam penelitian ini dibatasi pada hasil penelitian terkait pembuatan edible film berbasis pektin kulit pisang serta menggunakan pemlastis gliserol dan sorbitol. Pada produk edible film yang dibuat menggunakan pemlastis dengan konsentrasi 10%, pemlastis sorbitol menghasilkan WVTR yang lebih rendah (3,66 g.H2O/jam.m2) dibandingkan dengan pemlastis gliserol (3,93 g.H2O/jam.m2). Dari kedua jenis pemlastis tersebut, konsentrasi yang memberikan nilai WVTR terendah (3,66 – 4,66 g.H2O/jam.m2) ada pada rentang 5-15%. Dari seluruh hasil penelitian yang dikaji, karakteristik WVTR produk edible film sudah memenuhi Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS Z 1707, 1975). Kata kunci: Edible film, pemlastis, daya serap air, pektin kulit pisang   ABSTRACT  The use of edible films results in less waste and pollution, but their properties are still not close to those of synthetic packaging. One of its properties that need to be improved is its water vapor transmission rate (WVTR). In this study, a literature study was carried out regarding the effect of plasticizers (glycerol and sorbitol) on WVTR of edible film from banana peel pectin. The literature being studied in this study is limited to the research related to edible film production based on banana peel pectin and using glycerol and sorbitol plasticizers. In the edible film which is made using a plasticizer with concentration 10%, sorbitol plasticizer produces the edible film with lower WVTR (3.66 g.H2O/hr.m2) compared to glycerol plasticizers (3.93 g.H2O/hr.m2). Of the two types of plasticizers, the concentrations that give the lowest WVTR values (3.66 – 4.66 g.H2O/hr.m2) ​​are in the range of 5-15%. From all the research results reviewed, the WVTR characteristics of edible film products have met the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS Z 1707, 1975).

Flex barrier and optical density (OD) are two unique properties for metallized films and aluminum foil. This study investigated the effect of flexing on barrier properties of a laminate comprising metallized films and aluminum foil, as well as OD and adhesive lamination process on the overall multilayer laminate performance. Three (3) barrier layers, namely aluminum foil, metallized polyethylene terephthalate (met OPET) film with a high OD, and standard metallized PET film(met OPET), were laminated with the same printing layer OPET and sealing layer linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), into OPET/adhesive/foil/adhesive/LLDPE and OPET/adhesive/met OPET/adhesive/LLDPE structures. The oxygen transmission rate (OTR) and water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) were measured before and after flexing. The aluminum foil centered laminate had an excellent oxygen barrier after the 20-cycle flexing test and failed to retain its oxygen barrier after the 270-cycle flexing. Compared to the aluminum foil centered laminate, the metallized film centered laminates were less affected by the flexing on the oxygen barrier. For all laminates, the water vapor barrier was less severely affected by flexing than the oxygen barrier. This study suggests that the ASTMF392 Gelbo D (20- cycle flexing) can determine if aluminum foil and metallized film centered laminates are resistant to flex-formed pinhole failures. A higher OD, a thicker film thickness and lamination process improved laminate’s actual barrier, resulting in lower measured transmission rates versus that predicted using Henry's solubility law and Fick's diffusion law. The laminate’s water vapor transmission rate is 55–74% lower than predicted. The oxygen transmission rate is 15–31% lower than predicted.

Ammonia is one of the compounds released during the food spoilage process, so a device that can detect ammonia can be used as an indicator of food spoilage. This article reports on the preparation and characteristics of Starch/PVA composite films with Syzygium oleana as indicator films to detect ammonia vapor. The indicator was made by first preparing the starch / PVA composite films by casting method and then the films were dipped in Syzygium oleana extract. These films were characterized by using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer, Fourier Transformed Infra-Red Spectrophotometer and tested for mechanical properties such as tensile strength and elongation, and the water vapor transmission rate (WVT). The results showed that the addition of PVA reduced the absorbance value in the UV and visible area, the value of the water vapor transmission rate and the tensile strength but the elongation value of the film on the other hand rose. The indicator films can detect ammonia which was marked by its color change from red to blue. For further application, it can be used as a smart packaging label that can detect food freshness.

This study focuses on the development and evaluation of a novel wound dressing material. l-arginine grafted poly(glycerol sebacate) materials (PGS-g-Arg) are developed by chemical conjugation of l-arginine on poly(glycerol sebacate) chains and the mechanical property, water vapor transmission rate, antimicrobial functions and biocompatibility are investigated. At various l-arginine grafting ratio, the mechanical properties are tunable. It was found that between 7–13% l-arginine grafting ratios, the tensile strengths of PGS-g-Arg were similar to that of natural skin. These materials are shown with a low water vapor transmission rate, 6.1 to 10.3 g/m2/h, which may form a barrier and assist in the closure of wounds. Inhibition in the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus was observed on PGS-g-Arg, and a series of experiments were conducted to confirm its biocompatibility. In summary, l -arginine grafted poly(glycerol sebacate) may offer a novel option for wound dressing.
