Estudo das propriedades e biodegradabilidade de blendas de poliéster/amido submetidas ao ataque microbiano

Abstract: Recebido em 19/7/06; aceito em 9/3/07; publicado na web em 24/7/07 STUDY OF THE PROPERTIES AND BIODEGRADABILITY OF POLYESTER/STARCH BLENDS SUBMITTED TO MICROBIAL ATTACK. This work deals with the biodegradation of blends of poly(β-hydroxybutyrate)/starch and poly(β-hydroxybutyrate-cohydroxyvalerate)/starch. The blends were obtained by evaporation of the solvent in the mixture of the polymers in chloroform. Tests were carried out in presence of micro-organisms which acted as biodegradation agents. The blends wer… Show more

“…believed that this initial behavior was due to the best environmental conditions (temperature and humidity) for the microorganisms, which were under more restricted conditions. This fact, observed both for the pure polymer and the systems, was also reported in the biodegradation of PHBV–starch blends analyzed by the Sturm test performed by Vinhas et al …”

“…Analyzing the FTIR spectra obtained it observed that the polymers studied showed no difference when comparing them over time from hydrolytic degradation. A form used to quantify the degradation of polyester is to determine the presence of terminal carboxylic groups in the polymer [11]. In the Figures 6(b), 7(b), 8(b) and 9(b) note that the absorption band with wave number of 3290 cm -1 was not possible to observe the intensity of absorbance, due to limited technique, that is, as degradation was low and the weight average molecular weight of the sample are high, we could not see evidence of degradation by calculating the index of terminal carboxylic groups.…”

“…The degradation of a polymer depends on its nature and the environmental conditions, which may vary from exposure to abiotic factors such as temperature, humidity, pH, active microorganisms and the surface area of the sample [4,27,28] . The samples were buried in a soil where there is no-till soybeans, pH 5,7; mainly the samples of 150-210 days were closer to soybean planting and with little sunlight.…”
