Effect of ZnO nanoparticles on the mechanical, barrier and optical properties of thermoplastic cationic starch/montmorillonite biodegradable films.

Abstract:

:In this study, various amounts of nanoclay montmorillonite (MMT) and ZnO nanopowders were used to analyze the properties of biodegradable nanocomposites of cationic starch (CS). Nanocomposites are produced by solvent casting method. The structure of CS-MMT nanocomposite films that contain 3% montmorillonite was exfoliated and was proved by XRD test. New hydrogen bonds were successfully formed between the CS hydroxyl groups and nanofillers and this was proved by FTIR test. The water vapor permeability and the UV light transmittance of the nanocomposites reduced after the contents of MMT and ZnO increased. ∆E and opacity of the nanocomposites enhanced after the amount of ZnO increased. Tensile strength (TS) of nanocomposites increased after the incorporation of ZnO and MMT nanoparticles although the elongation at break was diminished. Results showed that the 3 and 0.7 wt% amounts of montmorillonite and ZnO nanopowders were sufficient in order to acquire a well-moderated mechanical behavior in plastic and elastic regions, and they also cause good improvements in barrier and optical properties.
