Biodegradable Poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate)/Poly(glycolic acid) Films: Effect of Poly(glycolic acid) Crystal on Mechanical and Barrier Properties
An increase in the crystallinity of polymers and good dispersion resulted in a reduction of excluded volume and thus a reduction in the molecules permeation and an increase in the barrier properties.
Abstract
Binary biodegradable polymers films
poly(butylene adipate-
co
-terephthalate) (PBAT) and poly(glycolic acid) (PGA)
were prepared through batch melt mixing to obtain Film I and Film II under two different processing conditions. PGA crystals played a major role in enhancing the mechanical and barrier properties of the films. For Film I
there were initial PGA crystals before the film blowing process
the PGA molecular chain further crystallized
forming the oriented crystallization of PGA. Moreover
the
X
c
and crystalline size in Film I were higher than those in Film II. Compared with the different processing methods
Film I has excellent mechanical and oxygen barrier properties due to the crystallization and orientation. The tensile strength reached 45.0 MPa
and tear strength exceeded 138.2 kN/m
while the elongation at break was as high as 750% for PBAT/PGA 85/15 in Film I. The WVTR
WVP coefficients
and OP coefficients of PBAT/PGA films were decreased obviously with increasing the PGA content both in Film I and Film II. Moreover
the barrier properties of oxygen in Film I were better than that in Film II. This work reveals a feasible processing technique by introducing of initial crystallization of PGA to blow PBAT/PGA films with excellent mechanical and barrier properties.
