Fabrication of antimicrobial and high-toughness poly (lactic acid) composite films using tung oil derivatives
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL MACROMOLECULES(2024)
摘要
Tung oil derivatives are promising alternatives to traditional toxic plasticizers for improving the toughness of poly (lactic acid) (PLA) films. In this study, a tung oil-based quaternary ammonium salt (Q-ETO) was synthesized using a multi-step process involving epoxidation, ring opening, and substitution reactions. PLA based composite films with various amounts of Q-ETO were prepared by solvent casting. The impact of various amount of Q-ETO on PLA/Q-ETO composite films were evaluated with regard to their mechanical properties, hydrophilicity, water vapor permeability, optical properties, thermal stability, antibacterial properties, and leaching properties. The PLA/5%Q-ETO composite film yielded the highest elongation at break (82.52 +/- 9.53 %), which was 153.67 % higher than that of pure PLA. All PLA composite films showed an antibacterial efficiency exceeding 90 % against both S. aureus and E. coli. Moreover, the PLA/Q-ETO composite film blocked the transmission of both ultraviolet and visible light while preventing the permeation of water vapor. The addition of Q-ETO only weakly affected the color and thermal stability of the PLA/Q-ETO composite film. Given the numerous advantages of the PLA composite film, it has significant potential for application as a food packaging material.
