Special Concern

The term “gel”, in the jargon of the plastics film industry, may refer to any inclusion that produces a visible artifact in a polymeric film. Although they can occur in any plastic product, gels are a principle concern in films where they detract from the cosmetic appearance of the product and may compromise its mechanical strength by acting as local stress concentrators. Many film gels are small spheres or ellipsoids less than one millimeter in diameter whereas other gels are fusiform-shaped and may reach several centimeters in length. The actual composition of gel inclusions may vary from miscellaneous inorganics (i.e. glass and mineral particles) and processing additives to heavily oxidized, charred or crosslinked polymer. The most commonly observed gels contain polymer differing from the bulk of the sample in its melt viscosity, density or molecular weight.Polymeric gels are a special concern in polyethylene films. Over the years and with the examination of a variety of these samples three predominant polymeric species have been observed: density gels which have different crystallinity than the film; melt-index gels in which the molecular weight is different than the film and crosslinked gels which are comprised of crosslinked polyethylene.

Ferula Asafoetida

The physical, thermal, mechanical, optical, microstructural, and barrier properties of low-density polyethylene films (LDPE) containing ferula asafoetida leaf and gum extracts were investigated. Results showed a reduction in elasticity and tensile strength with increasing extract concentration in the polymer matrix. The melting temperature and enthalpy increased with increasing concentration of extracts. The films containing extracts had lower L∗ and a∗ and higher b∗ indices. The films containing leaf extract had more barrier potential to UV than the gum extracts. The oxygen permeability in films containing 5% of leaf and gum extracts increased by 2.3 and 2.1 times, respectively. The morphology of the active films was similar to bubble swollen islands, which was more pronounced at higher concentrations of gum and leaf extracts. FTIR results confirmed some chemical interactions of ferula extracts with the polymer matrix. At the end of day 14th, the growth rate of Aspergillus niger and Saccharomyces cerevisea in the presence of the PE-Gum-5 reduced more than PE-Leaf-5 (3.7 and 2.4 logarithmic cycles, respectively) compared to the first day. Our findings showed that active LDPE films have desire thermo-mechanical and barrier properties for food packaging.

In this paper, a mechanism of anti-oxidation coating design based on the inhibition effect of the interface layer on the diffusion of ions within oxide scale was introduced. The Fe2+ ions diffusion behavior in Fe3O4, Cr2FeO4, and FeAl2O4 were studied by molecular dynamics method of Nudged elastic bond. As the result shown, Fe2+ ions tended to diffuse through the vacancy at tetrahedral site in Cr2FeO4 and FeAl2O4, but diffuse through the octahedral vacancy in Fe3O4. When temperature ranged from 1073 to 1325 K, the energy barrier of Fe2+ ions diffusion in Cr2FeO4 was higher than that of FeAl2O4, and both of that were still obvious higher than that in Fe3O4. A new anti-oxidation coating was prepared based on the inhibition of interface layer consisted of FeAl2O4 to protect the carbon steel S235JR at 1200 °C for 2 h. The FeAl2O4 region was formed and observed at the interface between coating and Fe element diffusion area, and the mullite phase was distributed outside of the FeAl2O4 region. Comparing to the bare sample, the prepared coating exhibited an excellent anti-oxidation effect.
