Water barrier properties of starch-clay nanocomposite films

Abstract: SummaryThe functional properties of corn starch based films were improved by incorporating nanoclay (Montmorillonite). Nanoclay was incorporated in the polymer matrix using two different methodologies and the films were formed by casting. The effect of film preparation methodology and of the nanoclay concentration on the physicochemical properties of the films was studied. Depending on film preparation method used, intercalated or exfoliated nanocomposite films were obtained. The FTIR spectra showed a strong i… Show more

“…So, we concluded that during the formation of the cellulose–SM‐MMT nanocomposite foams, new hydrogen bonds were formed between the cellulose and SM‐MMT nanoparticles. In general, the FTIR spectra confirmed the presence of SM‐MMT in the cellulose matrix and the interactions between the SM‐MMT and cellulose …”

“…Clays is also reported to improve the mechanical strength of biopolymers (Alexandre et al 2009). Incorporation of NC in polymer formulations enhances the tortuosity of the diffusive path for a penetrating molecule, and changes the molecular mobility, which enhances the thermal and mechanical properties amongst other advantages (Cyras et al 2008;Marcelo Slavutsky et al 2012). The cost was not evaluated at this stage, but is estimated to be quite low on a kg of fruit basis and well worth the protection it provides.…”
