“…The preparation of mixtures of synthetic and natural polymers represent a simple way to combine their best properties, obtaining materials with acceptable morphological, thermal, and mechanical properties, and shorter degradation time compared to synthetic polymers. Therefore, the partial biodegradation of these polymeric blends is one alternative that could contribute to minimizing environmental pollution [ 6 , 7 ].…”

The preparation of composites of synthetic and natural polymers represent an interesting option to combine properties; in this manner, polypropylene and chitosan extruded films using a different proportion of components and polypropylene-graft-maleic anhydride (PPgMA) as compatibilizer were prepared. The effect of the content of the biopolymer in the polypropylene (PP) matrix, the addition of compatibilizer, and the particle size on the properties of the composites was analyzed using characterization by fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), tensile strength, and contact angle, finding that in general, the addition of the compatibilizer and reducing the particle size of the chitosan, favored the physicochemical and morphological properties of the films.

“…The analysis was carried out under normal atmospheric conditions and at ambient temperature. Samples used for XRD testing were strips of films with dimensions of 10 mm × 15 mm [32]. The crystallinity index (CrI) for both untreated and treated EFB RC biocomposite films were calculated based on [10,34]:…”

“…BMIMCl has excellent cellulose-dissolving ability while MMA is an industrially relevant chemical with good capability to treat cellulose and improve its dissolution process during the regeneration process. The MMA was previously used to treat chitosan and Nypa frutican based-cellulose for the production of biocomposite [32,33]. However, this is the first attempt to utilize MMA in the chemical treatment of the EFB.…”

The empty fruit bunch (EFB) regenerated cellulose (RC) biocomposite films for packaging application were prepared using ionic liquid. The effects of EFB content and methyl methacrylate (MMA) treatment of the EFB on the mechanical and thermal properties of the RC biocomposite were studied. The tensile strength and modulus of elasticity of the MMA treated RC biocomposite film achieved a maximum value when 2 wt% EFB was used for the regeneration process. The treated EFB RC biocomposite films also possess higher crystallinity index. The morphology analysis indicated that the RC biocomposite film containing MMA treated EFB exhibits a smoother and more homogeneous surface compared to the one containing the untreated EFB. The substitution of the –OH group of the EFB cellulose with the ester group of the MMA resulted in greater dissolution of the EFB in the ionic liquid solvent, thus improving the interphase bonding between the filler and matrix phase of the EF RC biocomposite. Due to this factor, thermal stability of the EFB RC biocomposite also successfully improved.

“…[5][6] Another method used to solve the environmental issue is blending synthetic polymers with a natural polymer such as starch to produce more environmentally friendly materials. [7][8] Partially biodegradable materials can be obtained by melt blending PE with the addition of thermoplastic starch (TPS). [9] Starch, which is often used as a natural polymer, is an attractive biodegradable material because it is renewable, abundant in nature, and cheap.…”

In this study, the effects of Ag, ZnO, and CuO nanoparticles (NPs) on the mechanical, thermal, and biodegradability properties of the compatibilized polyethylene (PE)/thermoplastic starch (TPS) blends were investigated. Polyethylene‐grafted maleic anhydride (PE‐g‐MA) was used as the compatibilizer. The compatibilized PE/TPS blends with different NPs were prepared by melt mixing method in a laboratory scale extruder and then pressurized in the press machine. The use of ZnO NP together with the compatibilizer in PE/TPS‐based films significantly increased the tensile stress values. The use of different type NPs did not cause any significant change in the thermal stability of PE/TPS‐based films. However, the effects of NPs were observed on the TPS degradation steps. The prepared films with different NPs showed an antibacterial activity between 60% and 70%. The highest crystallinity value was obtained in Ag NP containing films, among others. According to scanning electron microscopy analysis, better distribution was observed for ZnO and Ag NPs than CuO NP. In general, it can be said that the addition of NPs to PE/TPS‐based blends significantly reduces the partial biodegradability of the resulting films.
