Abstract
BACKGROUND Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum), a valuable economic crop worldwide, often goes to waste due to improper packaging and handling. In the present study, three types of low-density polyethylene nanocomposite films containing 3% clay (Closite 20A), 3% TiO2 nanoparticles, and their combination were synthesized using melt blending method, and evaluated on the quality parameters of tomato fruit during 42 days of storage at 4 °C. RESULTS Transmission electron microscopy confirmed the degree of dispersion and exfoliation of the nanoparticles. The TiO2/clay-nanocomposite films exhibited notable enhancements in Young's modulus and tensile strength compared to conventional films. The addition of clay and TiO2 nanoparticles resulted in reduced permeability to CO2, O2, and water vapor. Fruits packed with clay/TiO2 nanocomposite films showed decreased ethylene production, mitigated weight loss, and maintained pH, titratable acidity, total soluble solids, and firmness. Furthermore, clay/TiO2 nanocomposite films enhanced membrane stability, decreased membrane lipid peroxidation, and enhanced catalase and ascorbate peroxidase enzyme activity in fruits. CONCLUSIONS The relatively good exfoliation of clay nanoparticles and the proper dispersion of TiO2 nanoparticles, which were confirmed by TEM, led to an increase in mechanical and physical properties in the Clay/TiO2 nanocomposite. This film displayed more potential in maintaining the quality properties of tomato fruit during cold storage. Therefore, this film can be considered a practical solution for minimizing pathogen risks and contamination, and enhancing the overall quality of tomato fruit.

Modifications of Phase Morphology, Physical Properties, and Burning Anti-Dripping Performance of Compatibilized Poly(butylene succinate)/High-Density Polyethylene Blend by Adding Nanofillers. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:4393. [PMID: 38006117 PMCID: PMC10675091 DOI: 10.3390/polym15224393] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2023] [Revised: 11/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/10/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
A twin-screw extruder was used to fabricate poly(butylene succinate) (PBS)/high-density polyethylene (HDPE) blends (7:3 weight ratio) and blend-based nanocomposites. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs), and organoclays (15A and 30B) served as the nanofiller, while maleated HDPE (PEgMA) acted as an efficient compatibilizer for the blend. In the composites, individual nanofillers were mostly localized in HDPE domains, but some fillers were also observed at PBS-HDPE interfaces. The sea-island morphology of the compatibilized blend evolved into a pseudo-co-continuous morphology in the composites. Differential scanning calorimetry results confirmed that PEgMA with HDPE evidently accelerated the crystallization of PBS in the blend. The possible nucleation effect of added fillers on PBS crystallization was obscured by the formation of quasi-connected HDPE domains, causing fewer PBS nucleation sites. The presence of nanofillers improved the thermal stability and burning anti-dripping behavior of the parent blend. The anti-dripping efficiency of added fillers followed the sequence CNT > 15A > 30B > GNP. The rigidity of the blend was increased after the formation of nanocomposites. In particular, adding GNP resulted in 19% and 31% increases in the Young's modulus and flexural modulus, respectively. The development of a pseudo-network structure in the composites was confirmed by measurement of rheological properties. The electrical resistivity of the blend was reduced by more than six orders of magnitude at 3 phr CNT loading, demonstrating the achievement of double percolation morphology.

Abstract
Different plastic types considered as compostable are found on the market such as petro-based (e.g., polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT)) or bio-based plastics (e.g., polylactic acid, (PLA)). Even if their degradation has been confirmed in industrial compost conditions, investigation of their degradation in natural marine environment has been limited. To better understand biodegradation into natural marine environment, commercial compostable (PBAT, semi-crystalline and amorphous PLA) and non-compostable polymers (low density polyethylene, polystyrene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyvinyl chloride) were submerged in situ on the sediment and in the water column in the Mediterranean Sea. These samples were studied by chemical and microbiological approaches. After 82 days of immersion, no significant bacterial degradation of the different polymers was observed, except some abiotic alterations of PBAT and LDPE probably due to a photooxidation process. However, after 80 days in an enrichment culture containing plastic films as a main carbon source, Marinomonas genus was specifically selected on the PBAT and a weight loss of 12% was highlighted. A better understanding of the bacterial community colonizing these plastics is essential for an eco-design of new biodegradable polymers to allow a rapid degradation in aquatic environment.

Abstract
Novel hybrid polymer inclusion membranes (PIMs) based on poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) (polymer matrix) and Aliquat 336 (ion carrier) and containing native sodium (Cloisite Na+ (CNa)) and organo-modified (Cloisite 30B (C30B)) Montmorillonites were elaborated and tested for the removal of toxic Cr(VI) ions from the aqueous solution. The influence of the nanoclay incorporation on the physicochemical properties of PVDF-based PIMs was studied and the resulting membrane transport properties of the Cr(VI) ions were investigated in detail. The water contact angle measurements reveal that the incorporation of the CNa nanofiller affects the membrane wettability as less hydrophilic surface is obtained in this case-~47° in the presence of CNa as compared with ~15° for PIMs with C30B. The membrane rigidity is found to be dependent on the type and size of the used Montmorillonite. The increase of Young's modulus is higher when CNa is incorporated in comparison with C30B. The stiffness of the PIM is strongly increased with CNa amount (four times higher with 30 wt %) which is not the case for C30B (only 1.5 times). Higher Cr(VI) permeation flux is obtained for PIMs containing CNa (~2.7 µmol/(m2·s)) owing to their porous structure as compared with membranes loaded with C30B and those without filler (~2 µmol/(m2·s) in both cases). The PIM with 20 wt % of native sodium Montmorillonite revealed satisfactory stability during five cycles of the Cr(VI) transport due to the high membrane rigidity and hydrophobicity. Much lower macromolecular chain mobility in this case allows limiting the carrier loss, thus increasing the membrane stability. On the contrary, a deterioration of the transport performance is recorded for the membrane filled with C30B and that without filler. The obtained results showed the possibility to extend the PIM lifetime through the incorporation of nanoparticles that diminish the carrier loss (Aliquat 336) from the membrane into the aqueous phase by limiting its mobility within the membrane by tortuosity effect and membrane stiffening without losing its permselective properties.

Abstract
The production of graphene oxide (GO) in large amounts for commercialization in the chemical industry has been limited because harsh and tedious process conditions are required. In this study, a novel carbon nanomaterial called 'bottom-up graphene oxide (BGO)' could be easily prepared for the first time by heat treatment of the mixture of citric acid (CA) and tannic acid (TA) with different weight ratios for the first time. BGO3 prepared using a 50/50 weight ratio of CA/TA was found to have an average lateral size of 250.0 nm and an average thickness of 7.2 nm, and it was further functionalized with cardanol to prepare cardanol functionalized BGO3 (CBGO3) to be used as a filler for the polypropylene (PP) nanocomposite, where cardanol was used to increase the compatibility between BGO3 and PP. The improved mechanical properties and thermal stability of PP nanocomposites containing CBGO3 could be ascribed to the intrinsic mechanical properties of the carbon nanomaterial and the increased compatibility by the attached cardanol on BGO3.

Abstract
Oil-based mud (OBM) waste from the oil and gas exploration industry can be valorised to tailor-made reclaimed clay-reinforced low-density polyethylene (LDPE) nanocomposites. This study aims to fill the information gap in the literature and to provide opportunities to explore the effective recovery and recycling techniques of the resources present in the OBM waste stream. Elemental analysis using inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and X-ray fluorescence analysis, chemical structural analysis by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and morphological analysis of LDPE/organo-modified montmorillonite (LDPE/MMT) and LDPE/OBM slurry nanocomposites by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) have been conducted. Further analysis including calorimetry, thermogravimetry, spectroscopy, microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis and X-ray diffraction (XRD) was carried out to evaluate the thermo-chemical characteristics of OBM waste and OBM clay-reinforced LDPE nanocomposites, confirming the presence of different clay minerals including inorganic salts in OBM slurry powder. The microscopic analysis revealed that the distance between polymer matrix and OBM slurry filler is less than that of MMT, which suggests better interfacial adhesion of OBM slurry compared with the adhesion between MMT and LDPE matrix. This was also confirmed by XRD analysis, which showed the superior delamination structure OBM slurry compared with the structure of MMT. There is a trend noticeable for both of these fillers that the nanocomposites with higher percentage filler contents (7.5 and 10.0 wt% in this case) were indicated to act as a thermal conductive material. The heat capacity values of nanocomposites decreased about 33% in LDPE with 7.5 wt% MMT and about 17% in LDPE with 10.0 wt% OBM slurry. It was also noted, for both nanocomposites, that the residue remaining after 1000°C increases with the incremental wt% of fillers in the nanocomposites. There is a big difference in residue amount (in %) left after thermogravimetric analysis in the two nanocomposites, indicating that OBM slurry may have significant influence in decomposing LDPE matrix; this might be an interesting area to explore in the future. The results provide insight and opportunity to manufacture waste-derived renewable nanocomposites with enhanced structural and thermal properties.

Abstract
In order to develop flame retardant and relatively green cable coating materials, polyethylene (PE) was melt blended with 5, 7.5, or 10 wt. % of a natural calcium montmorillonite (C–Ca) pre-dispersed in EBA (ethylene-butyl acrylate copolymer), EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer), or mEVA (EVA modified with maleic anhydride). For comparison, an organophilised montmorillonite (CW9) was tested. The main study of composites containing EBA/C–Ca, EVA/C–Ca, and mEVA/CW9 pre-dispersions revealed that both clays were not fully exfoliated in the matrix, however, C–Ca (7.5 wt. %) markedly increased limited oxygen index (LOI) from 18% O2 (PE) up to 22.0% O2. An insignificantly higher LOI value (22.2% O2) was noted for a sample with 10 wt. % of CW9. The fillers did not affect hardness, but spectacularly increased Young’s modulus of the compression-moulded samples (tensile strength and elongation at break values were reduced). Thermal features of the matrix were not unpredictably changed by the clays. Generally, all the tests revealed that PE filled with the chemically untreated natural C–Ca reached similar or better mechanical and thermal features than materials containing the ammonium salt-modified montmorillonite.

Abstract
In this research, a novel amphiphilic hydrophobically associative polymer nanocomposite (ADOS/OMMT) was prepared using acrylamide (AM), sodium 4-vinylbenzenesulfonate (SSS), N, N'-dimethyl octadeyl allyl ammonium bromide (DOAAB) and organo-modified montmorillonite (OMMT) through in situ polymerization. Both X-ray diffraction patterns and transmission electron microscopy images verified the dispersion morphology of OMMT in the copolymer matrix. Then, the effect of the introduction of OMMT layers on the copolymer properties was studied by comparing with pure copolymer AM/SSS/DOAAB (ADOS). The thermal degradation results demonstrated that the thermal stability of the ADOS/OMMT were better than pure copolymer ADOS. During the solution properties tests, ADOS/OMMT nanocomposite was superior to ADOS in viscosifying ability, temperature resistance, salt tolerance, shear resistance and viscoelasticity, which was because OMMT contributed to enhance the hydrophobic association structure formed between polymer molecules. Additionally, the ADOS/OMMT nanocomposite exhibited more excellent interfacial activity and crude oil emulsifiability in comparison to pure copolymer ADOS. These performances indicated ADOS/OMMT nanocomposite had good application prospects in tertiary recovery.

Abstract
The production of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) has increased exponentially over the last few decades. ENMs, made from use of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs), have been applied to the food, agriculture, pharmaceutical, and automobile industries. Of particular interest are their applications in packaging nanocomposites for consumer and non-consumer goods. ENPs in nanocomposites are of interest as a packaging material because they reduce the amount of polymer needed, while improving the physical properties. However, the transformation of ENPs in nanocomposite production, their fate, and their toxicity remain unknown while in contact with the package content or after the end of life. The objectives of this chapter are (a) to provide an overview of the main nanoclays used in packaging; (b) to categorize the main polymeric packaging nanocomposites; (c) to provide an overview of the fate and mass transport of ENPs, especially nanoclays; (d) to describe the mass transfer of nanoclays in food simulants and in compost environments; and (e) to identify current and future research needs.

MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2018; 11:ma11122459. [PMID: 30518092 PMCID: PMC6317266 DOI: 10.3390/ma11122459] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2018] [Revised: 11/27/2018] [Accepted: 11/30/2018] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
The intercalation degree of nanoclays in polymeric foamed nanocomposites containing clays is a key parameter determining the final properties of the material, but how intercalation occurs is not fully understood. In this work, energy dispersive X-ray diffraction (ED-XRD) of synchrotron radiation was used as an in-situ technique to deepen into the intercalation process of polymer/nanoclay nanocomposites during foaming. Foamable nanocomposites were prepared by the melt blending route using low-density polyethylene (LDPE), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS) with surface treated nanoclays and azodicarbonamide (ADC) as the blowing agent. Foaming was induced by heating at atmospheric pressure. The time and temperature evolution of the interlamellar distance of the clay platelets in the expanding nanocomposites was followed. Upon foaming, interlamellar distances of the nanocomposites based on LDPE and PP increase by 18% and 16% compared to the bulk foamable nanocomposite. Therefore, the foaming process enhances the nanoclay intercalation degree in these systems. This effect is not strongly affected by the type of nanoclay used in LDPE, but by the type of polymer used. Besides, the addition of nanoclays to PP and PS has a catalytic effect on the decomposition of ADC, i.e., the decomposition temperature is reduced, and the amount of gas released increases. This effect was previously proved for LDPE.

Abstract
Purified clay was modified with different amounts of alkyl ammonium and phosphonium salts and used as filler in the preparation of PET nanocomposites via melt intercalation. The effect of this type of filler on morphology and thermal and mechanical properties of PET nanocomposites was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analyses (TG), tensile properties, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that the mixture of alkyl ammonium and phosphonium salts favored the production of PET nanocomposites with intercalated and partially exfoliated morphologies with slight improvement in thermal stability. In addition, the incorporation of these organoclays tended to inhibit PET crystallization behavior, which is profitable in the production of transparent bottles.

Abstract
In this study, a novel procedure was performed for grafting of nanoclays (montmorillonite (MMT) and halloysite (HNT)) with essential oil constituents (thymol (THY), eugenol (EUG) and carvacrol (CRV)) using Tween 80 as surfactant and then the nanoclay particles were incorporated into LLDPE pellets (5 wt%) to produce active nanocomposite films using a twin screw extruder. The resulting nanocomposite films were analyzed for antimicrobial and antioxidant capacity as well as thickness, mechanical, color, barrier, thermal properties and surface morphology and molecular composition. Release of the active compounds from the films at the refrigerated and room temperature conditions were also tested. The results showed that the films had strong in vitro antibacterial activity against pathogenic bacteria (Salmonella Typhimurium, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus) while their effect against lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lb. casei) was limited. The lowest and highest DPPH scavenging ability levels were 65.59% and % 87.92, belonged to THY-MMT and EUG-MMT, respectively. Release of active compounds at 24 °C was much more rapid than at 4 °C. CRV-HNT and THY-HNT provided slower release than the other films. SEM results showed that nanoclays were uniformly dispersed in the polymer matrix with exceptional agglomerates. Incorporation of the active nanoclays significantly (P > 0.05) improved tensile strength and elongation of the films. The results confirmed that LLDPE based active nanocomposite films could be successfully produced due to its good interaction with MMT and HNT, activated with THY, EUG and CRV.

Morphology Development and Mechanical Properties Variation during Cold-Drawing of Polyethylene-Clay Nanocomposite Fibers. Polymers (Basel) 2017; 9:polym9060235.

Abstract
In this work, the influence of composition and cold-drawing on nano- and micro-scale morphology and tensile mechanical properties of PE/organoclay nanocomposite fibers was investigated. Nanocomposites were prepared by melt compounding in a twin-screw extruder, using a maleic anhydride grafted linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE–g–MA) and an organomodified montmorillonite (Dellite 67G) at three different loadings (3, 5 and 10 wt %). Fibers were produced by a single-screw extruder and drawn at five draw ratios (DRs): 7.25, 10, 13.5, 16 and 19. All nanocomposites, characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, and FT-IR techniques, showed an intercalated/exfoliated morphology. The study evidenced that the nanoclay presence significantly increases both elastic modulus (up to +115% for fibers containing 10 wt % of D67G) and drawability of as-spun nanocomposite fibers. Moreover, at fixed nanocomposite composition, the cold-drawing process increases fibers elastic modulus and tensile strength at increasing DRs. However, at high DRs, “face-to-edge” rearrangement phenomena of clay layers (i.e., clay layers tend to rotate and touch each other) arise in fibers at high nanoclay loadings. Finally, nanocomposite fibers show a lower diameter reduction during drawing, with respect to the plain system, and surface feature of adjustable roughness by controlling the composition and the drawing conditions.

Abstract
AbstractNanocomposites based on high density polyethylene (HDPE)/linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) blend were prepared by melt compounding in a twin-screw extruder using an organoclay (montmorillonite) as nano-filler and maleic anhydride-grafted linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE-g-MA) as compatibilizer. The effects of two blending protocols were also investigated. In the first blending protocol LLDPE and LLDPE-g-MA were first reinforced with organoclay and then this nanocomposite was later blended with HDPE, and the second blending protocol LLDPE-g-MA was mixed with organoclay first and then this masterbatch was diluted with HDPE and LLDPE. The preparation of the masterbatch resulted in the degradation of polyethylene, with crosslinking formation which increase the viscosity of the polymer and facilitated the dispersion of the organoclay in the polymeric matrix. WAXD and TEM were used to determine the effect of blending protocol and organoclay content on the intercalation and mechanical properties. The introduction of a maleated polyethylene was required to improve the organoclay dispersion in the nanocomposites. Thermal and mechanical properties of the nanocomposites were affected by blending protocols and the content of organoclay. The degree of crystallinity of the materials prepared using the first blending protocol decreased upon the intercalation of clay platelets whereas for the materials obtained using the second blending protocol the degree of crystallinity decreased due the crosslinking which further restricted mobility and diffusion of polymer chains. The nanocomposites show higher values of tensile modulus, flexural modulus and HDT compared to the blend without the addition of organoclay. The OMMT content added to the polymer blend results in significant and well correlated improvements in tensile and flexural moduli.
