Sukwijit C, Seubsai A, Charoenchaitrakool M, Sudsakorn K, Niamnuy C, Roddecha S, Prapainainar P. Production of PLA/cellulose derived from pineapple leaves as bio-degradable mulch film. Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 270:132299. [PMID: 38735609 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.132299] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2023] [Revised: 04/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/10/2024] [Indexed: 05/14/2024]
Abstract
Mulch films were fabricated from polylactic acid (PLA) with cellulose nanocrystals (PNC) extracted from pineapple leaves. The PNC was modified by incorporating 4 wt% triethoxyvinylsilane (TEVS), designated as 4PNC, to enhance its interaction with PLA. The films incorporated varying concentrations of PNC (1, 2, 4, and 8 wt%). The results indicated that higher PNC concentrations increased the water vapor permeability (WVP) and biodegradability of the composite films, while reducing light transmission. Films containing 4PNC, particularly at 4 wt% (PLA/4PNC-4), exhibited an 11.18 % increase in elongation at break compared to neat PLA films. Moreover, these films showed reduced light transmission, correlating with decreased weed growth, reduced WVP, and enhanced barrier properties, indicative of improved soil moisture retention. Additionally, PLA films with 4PNC demonstrated greater thermal degradation stability than those with unmodified PNC, suggesting enhanced heat resistance. However, there was no significant difference in aerobic biodegradation between the PLA films with PNC and those with 4PNC. This study confirms that TEVS-modified cellulose significantly enhances the properties of bio-composite films, making them more suitable for mulch film applications.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 14:338. [PMID: 38392711 PMCID: PMC10892516 DOI: 10.3390/nano14040338] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2023] [Revised: 01/18/2024] [Accepted: 02/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/24/2024]
Abstract
Biodegradable polymers have become a topic of great scientific and industrial interest due to their environmentally friendly nature. For the benefit of the market economy and environment, biodegradable materials should play a more critical role in packaging materials, which currently account for more than 50% of plastic products. However, various challenges remain for biodegradable polymers for practical packaging applications. Particularly pertaining to the poor oxygen/moisture barrier issues, which greatly limit the application of current biodegradable polymers in food packaging. In this review, various strategies for barrier property improvement are summarized, such as chain architecture and crystallinity tailoring, melt blending, multi-layer co-extrusion, surface coating, and nanotechnology. These strategies have also been considered effective ways for overcoming the poor oxygen or water vapor barrier properties of representative biodegradable polymers in mainstream research.
