The biodegradable composite films were prepared from corn stalk microcrystalline cellulose as filler and polylactic acid (PLA) as polymeric matrix. The crystallinity, the tensile properties and the thermal properties of the composites were tested. The results show that the tensile properties and thermal properties were improved with the addition of corn stalk microcrystalline cellulose. When corn stalk microcrystalline cellulose account for 10% of the PLA quality, the initial decomposition temperature was raised by 34.38, tensile strength increased by 58.3% and elongation at break increased by 31.1% compared to those of pure PLA.

nanoSiO2/cellulose composite films were prepared via ionic liquids 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (EMIMAc) solution containing cotton pulp cellulose. The as-prepared composite films were characterized by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). It was indicated that the surface structure of obtained films was dense and compact, which was composed of nanoSiO2particles. The modified nanoSiO2composite film showed a good thermal stability with decomposition temperature up to 692°C when the weight residue of the film was 50%. The tensile strength and elongation at break increased by 50% and 35% than that of original cellulose film without SiO2. The film containing 0.5% SiO2showed a water flux of 249.8L.m2.h-1and the retention of BSA by 97%.

Nanocomposites based on segmented poly(urethane urea) were prepared by reacting a poly(diisocyanate) with diamine-modified Laponite-RD nanoparticles that served as a chain extender. The nanocomposites were prepared at a constantNH2to NCO mole ratio of 0.95, while varying the fraction of diamine-modified Laponite relative to the free diamine chain extender. Compared to neat poly(urethane urea), all nanocomposites showed increased tensile strength and elongation at break. As Laponite loading increased, tensile properties passed through a maximum at a particle concentration of 1 mass%, at which a 300% increase in tensile strength and 40% increase in elongation at break were observed. A maximum in urea and urethane hard-domain melting endotherms was also observed at this Laponite loading. Optimal mechanical and thermal properties coincided with a minimum in the size of the inorganic Laponite phase. Nanocomposites containing diamine-modified Laponite had higher tensile strengths than those with nonreactive monoamine-modified Laponite or diamine-modified Cloisite.

Objectives. This work aimed to develop technology to produce biodegradable hybrid composite (BHC) films based on low-density polyethylene (LDPE) 115030-070 and thermoplastic starches (TPS) of various origins (corn, pea, and rice), with distilled monoglycerides as the plasticizer. The properties of the produced BHC films were studied and the optimal native starch : glycerol : monoglycerides ratio is proposed.Methods. TPS and BHC films based on this material were produced from different types of native starches in laboratory extruders (Brabender and MashPlast, Russia), and the extruded melts were subjected to ultrasonic vibrations. The structure and appearance of the BHC films were studied using scanning electron microscopy and rheology. Their biodegradability was assessed by immersing them in biocompost for three months. To evaluate the mechanical performance of the BHC films produced with and without ultrasound, the changes in tensile stress and elongation at break were determined during the biodegradation process.Results. The BHC films had a homogeneous structure, except small agglomerates (non-melted starch grains), which did not reduce their quality. The films with monoglycerides had high tensile strength, which was comparable with low-density polyethylene. After removing samples of the BHC films from the biocompost, their tensile strength decreased by 20%, which shows their biodegradability.Conclusions. The produced biodegradable composite films and the technology used to produce them will be applicable for the packaging industry to reduce environmental impact.

The thermal properties and morphological characterisation of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) homopolymer and its blends with low molecular low modulus polypropylene (LMPP) were studied. Firstly blends were prepared with variant LMPP contents, and their properties were characterised using SEM, DSC, XRD, and DMA. Later the mechanical properties of iPP/LMPP blend fibres were investigated. SEM results showed that the iPP/LMPP blends produced smoother surfaces when the LMPP content was increased, as well as the miscibility. All the Tg values with different LMPP percentages were in-between pure iPP and LMPP. The XRD results indicated the LMPP percentage decreased along with the degree of crystallinity of the iPP/LMPP blends (5% to 15%), which increased and then decreased as compared to pure iPP. The elongation at break increased when the LMPP content increased, with the maximum breaking elongation of the LMPP 25% blend reaching 12.95%, which showed great stretch-ability, whereas the elastic modulus of iPP/LMPP blends decreased.

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were incorporated into epoxy resin (EP) to improve the resins toughness and thermal properties. MWCNTs/EP composites were prepared by hot melt method. The fracture energy of composites was determined by wedge test, measure length of crack extension of the composites, and calculates the fracture energy. Results show improved composites toughness, as MWCNTs were dispersed in EP matrix evenly, thus absorbed impact energy. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) results suggest that initial decomposition temperature increased by adding MWCNTs, with a promoted formation of a structural antiflaming network, which led to enhancement of thermal stability of the composites. The limiting oxygen index (LOI) and LU-94 data also showed a decrease of flammability of the composites.
