Some applications, in particular, wound dressings, require significant water holding capability: hydrogels formed from Basil seed mucilage (BSM) are non-toxic natural substances and exhibit the needed water holding capacity. However, the sponges have low dimensional stability and easily degrade in aqueous media. We overcame this drawback by crosslinking with borax. To provide antibacterial activity, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NP) were added. With 10–20 wt% added borax and ZnO-NP, all key properties improved: dimensional stability, water retention capacity (31 to 41%), stress at maximum load (2.6 to 6.6 MPa), Young's modulus (74 to 113 MPa) and strain (28 to 54%). An interconnecting system of pores with well distributed ZnO-NP was observed from scanning electron microscope. In addition, higher borax and ZnO-NP loadings slightly decreased porosity (92% to 73%) and swelling (109 to 56). Moreover, antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity of BSM hydrogel sponge were also examined.

Mechanical properties and water uptake of thermoplastic starch (TPS)/low-density polyethylene (LDPE) blend are still the main problems for applications of biodegradable polymers; therefore, properties of the TPS/LDPE blends were, then, modified using pectin, a natural gelling agent. In this study, biodegradable polymer blends; prepared from thermoplastic mung bean starch (TPMBS) and LDPE, were processed using an injection molding technique. Different contents of pectin, i.e. 0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% were added into the TPMBS/ LDPE blend. It was found from Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) spectra that O-H stretching peak shifted to lower wavenumber by the addition of pectin, even with the presence of LDPE. Better phase compatibility between the TPMBS and LDPE phases, observed from Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) technique, was also detected by the addition of pectin. In addition, tensile properties of the TPMBS/LDPE blends were also significantly improved by the modification of pectin. Melt flow index, water absorption, thermal degradation temperature and biodegradability of different TPMBS/LDPE blends modified by pectin were also investigated.

Due to several limitations of acetylated starch film for wound dressing applications such as low mechanical properties and no antibacterial activity, acetylated starch film was, therefore, modified by different contents of κ-carrageenan and mandelic acid. Infrared spectra confirmed the presence of κ-carrageenan and mandelic acid in the modified acetylated starch films. In addition, the decreased crystallinity of the carrageenan modified acetylated starch films led to more smooth film, as observed by scanning electron images. Besides, the addition of various amounts of κ-carrageenan in the modified acetylated starch films caused the improvement of mechanical properties, moisture uptake, water vapor transmission rate (WVTR), and degree of swelling. Moreover, κ-carrageenan modified acetylated starch film loaded with 20 wt% of mandelic acid exhibited antibacterial property against both S.aureus and E.coli bacteria. Additionally, degree of crystallinity, mechanical properties, moisture uptake, WVTR, degree of swelling, antibacterial activity, and cytotoxicity of κ-carrageenan modified acetylated starch films added by different amounts of mandelic acid were also studied.

Because of weak mechanical qualities and low degree of swelling of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose/carboxymethyl starch (HP/CMS) blended films for wound dressing application, this work prepared a unique antimicrobial crosslinked film utilizing succinic acid (SA) as a non-toxic crosslinker and gallic acid (GAL) as an antibacterial agent. It was observed that the infrared-shifted peak position of O[sbnd]H stretching and bending in HP/CMS/SA/GAL films was caused by hydrogen bond formation among HP, CMS and GAL components. The antimicrobial crosslinked films considerably enhanced their mechanical properties and swelling degree. After adding SA and GAL, the films retained their porosity structure as observed by scanning electron images. Moreover, GAL-loaded HP/CMS/SA films could inhibit Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli growth, showing their wound dressing potential. Crystallinity percentage, water vapor transmission rate, gel fraction, water solubility, water uptake and cytotoxicity were also investigated.

Composites made of electroactive ceramics and a ferroelectric polymer are very attractive for applications since they exhibit good piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties, low densities and their properties can be tailored to various requirements. Here, we reported the preparation and dielectric properties of 3-3 PZ/PVDF nanocomposites by infusion of polyvinylidenedifluoride (PVDF) into the PZ nanofiber mat followed by heating of the composite at 80°C. The 3-3 PZ/PVDF composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, FT-IR, SEM and LCR meter. The dielectric constant of the PZ/PVDF nanocomposite are relatively stable in the range of 21.98-18.21 within the measurement frequencies from 100 Hz to 2 MHz. This value is higher than the dielectric constant of the polyvinylidene fluoride. Moreover, the dielectric loss of the composite is below 0.09 at low frequencies. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

Due to poor mechanical and thermal properties of native starch (NS) film; in the present work; NS was modified by graft copolymerization. Thermoplastic starch (TPS) grafted by methacrylic acid (MAA) with different percentage of grafting, i.e., 0%, 18.3%, 36.3%, 52.1% and 89.7% were prepared and tested. The result demonstrated that the intensity of IR peak of acrylic group increased with the increasing percentage of grafting. The higher graft copolymerization with MAA also significantly reduced degree of crystallinity. The strain at maximum load of TPS film grafted by MAA increased with the increasing percentage of grafting. However, water uptake of TPS film grafted by MAA reduced with high percentage of grafting (52.1% and 89.7%). In addition, different TPS films grafted by MAA were also examined for morphology, water vapor permeability, thermal property and biodegradable property by soil buried test.

In this study effects of different starch types on the properties of biodegradable polymer based on thermoplastic starch (TPS) were investigated. Different types of starch containing different contents of amylose and amylopectin were used, i.e. cassava starch, mungbean starch, and arrowroot starch. The TPS polymers were compounded and shaped using an internal mixer and an injection molding machine, respectively. It was found that the amount of amylose and amylopectin contents on native starch influence the properties of the TPS polymer. A high amylose starch of TPMS led to higher strength, hardness, degree of crystallization than the high amylopectin starch of TPCS. In addition, function group analysis by Fourier transforms infrared spectrophotometer, water absorption, and biodegradation by soil burial test were also examined.

Because of weak mechanical and highly hydrophilic properties of starch, various applications for starch have been limited. In this study, mung bean starch (MBS), one type of high amylose starch, was chosen for its potential film forming biopolymers. MBS films were prepared and modified by different types and contents of natural di-carboxylic acids, i.e. malic acid (MA) and succinic acid (SA) with different acidity and chemical structures. It was found from FTIR spectra that the extra peak position of 1700 cm <sup>−1</sup> were observed, the evidence of ester group formation for MA- or SA- modified MBS films. The incorporation of MA or SA into MBS film also caused the decrease in degree of crystallinity, as confirmed by XRD technique. Additionally, the maximum strain at maximum load was highly improved with the addition of 30% MA or SA. Moreover, swelling power and water vapor permeability (WVP) of MBS film modified by SA were lower than those by MA. Morphology, biodegradability and thermal property of different acid-modified MBS films were also investigated.

Biodegradable polymer was prepared as thermoplastic starch (TPS) using rice and waxy rice starches. In order to increase mechanical properties and reduce water absorption of the TPS, cotton fiber was incorporated as the fiber reinforcement into the TPS matrix. The effect of cotton fiber contents and lengths on properties of the TPS was examined. Internal mixer and compression molding machine were used to mix and shape the samples. It was found that the thermoplastic rice starch (TPRS) showed higher stress at maximum load and Young's modulus but lower strain at maximum load than the thermoplastic waxy rice starch (TPWRS). In addition, stress at maximum load and Young's modulus of both TPRS and TPWRS increased significantly with the addition of the cotton fiber. Cotton fiber contents and lengths also affected mechanical properties of the TPRS and TPWRS composites. Moreover, water absorption of the TPRS and TPWRS composites decreased by the use of the cotton fibers. FT-IR and XRD techniques were used to study a change in functional group and crystallinity of the thermoplastic starch composites. Morphological, thermal and biodegradable properties of different thermoplastic starch composites were also investigated. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.

BACKGROUND: Biodegradable films from basil seed mucilage (BSM) were formed and modified with several di-carboxylic acid crosslinkers; i.e. tartaric acid (TA), malic acid (MA) and succinic acid (SA) with varying acidity and chemical structures, to enhance mechanical properties and water barrier ability. Basil seeds have a reasonable mucilage content and valuable properties; thus, it has the potential to develop valuable new biodegradable films. RESULT: We characterized BSM films with the three crosslinkers using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and observed a 1730 cm<sup>−1</sup> CO stretching peak, which confirmed ester linkage between the mucilage and crosslinkers. The crosslinked films showed higher gel fraction than native films. The crosslinked films showed better swelling and water vapor permeability with SA than with TA and MA. Crosslinking led to significant improvement in strain at maximum load. Further, the stress maximum load was comparable to that of commercial low-density polyethylene (LDPE) film. Crosslinked films showed additional homogeneous morphology and an increase in thermal degradation temperatures. CONCLUSION: Crosslinking with dicarboxylic acids improved all the key properties of BSM films, including excellent stress and strain at maximum load, improved barrier capability and thermal properties. Thus, these films showed good potential as biodegradable films, especially for food packaging. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.
