Resumo: A característica hidrofílica dos biomateriais a base de amido resulta em alta instabilidade diante de diferentes condições ambientais. O amido de aveia, por possuir um conteúdo maior de lipídios em relação a outros amidos, tornase uma fonte interessante, uma vez que a hidrofobicidade aumentada pode atuar reduzindo sua capacidade de sorção de umidade. O objetivo do trabalho foi investigar o comportamento de filmes e laminados de amido de aveia, produzidos por casting e extrusão, respectivamente, plastificados com glicerol, sorbitol e ureia e armazenados em diferentes condições de umidade relativa. Mesmo com a presença do lipídio nativo, os materiais ainda mostraram instabilidade diante do aumento da umidade relativa de armazenagem, sendo observado um decréscimo na força e um aumento na deformação nos testes de perfuração. Em geral os biomateriais plastificados com glicerol apresentaram maior capacidade de sorção de água. O sorbitol foi o plastificante mais efetivo, pois produziu materiais com propriedades mecânicas similares aos outros plastificantes mesmo sendo usado em menor concentração molar. O processo de extrusão resultou em materiais finais com estruturas mais abertas e fragmentadas. Palavras-chave: Aveia, amido, plastificante.
Effect of Processing and Enviromental Conditions in the Properties of Oat Starch Biodegradable MaterialsAbstract: The hydrophilic character of starch-based biomaterials generates high instability under different environmental conditions. Oat starch shows an interesting alternative for starch films because it contains higher lipid content than other common starches. This increased hydrophobicity can act reducing the moisture sorption capacity. The objective of this study was to investigate the behavior of oat starch films and sheets produced by casting and extrusion, respectively, plasticized with glycerol, sorbitol and urea and stored at different relative humidity. Even with the presence of native lipid, the materials still showed instability upon increasing the relative humidity for storage. Under higher humidity, a decrease in strength and an increase in deformation in puncture tests were observed. Biomaterials plasticized with glycerol showed higher water sorption capacity. Sorbitol was the most effective plasticizer because it led to materials with similar mechanical properties to other plasticizers even at lower molar concentrations. The extrusion process resulted in final materials with more open, fragmented structures.
CHURCH HISTORY satisfy Francis I's cupidity for Italian territory in order to secure his aid against the Protestants; perhaps the author's criticism of the emperor for preferring to see heresy in Germany rather than France in Italy is the least convincing judgment in the book. Finally, the Catholic estates of the Empire, especially the dukes of Bavaria, fearing centralization of government and Hapsburg dominance more than the spread of Lutheranism, refused to assist Charles and Ferdinand against either the Turks or the Protestants. Miiller does not explicitly state the obvious conclusion that the Catholics themselves did their own cause the greatest harm during this disastrous pontificate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
