摘要

Abstract

This work investigates the degradation and properties of a thermoplastically prepared composite comprising a polylactide/ hybrid zinc stearate-silver system. The influence of the zinc stearate-silver system on the properties of the composite is investigated by electron microscopy

differential scanning calorimetry and tensile tests. Furthermore

the antimicrobial activities of the systems are examined. The degradation behaviour of the composites is studied in both abiotic and biotic (composting) environments at an elevated temperature of 58 °C. The results reveal good dispersion of the additive in the PLA matrix

a stabilizing effect exerted by the same on the polylactide matrix during processing

and slight reduction in glass transition temperature. The zinc stearate-silver component also reduces brittleness and extends elongation of the composite. Abiotic hydrolysis is not significantly affected

which is in contrast with pure PLA

although mineralization during the early stage of biodegradation increases noticeably. The composite exhibits antimicrobial activity

even at the lowest dosage of the zinc stearate/silver component (1 wt%). Moreover

Ag and Zn contents were found to be present in the composite during abiotic hydrolysis

which was demonstrated by minimal diffusion of Ag ions from the matrix and very extensive washing of compounds that contained Zn.
