The large use of plastics in the world generates a large amount of waste which persists around 200 years in the environment. To minimize this effect is important to search some new polymer materials: the blends of biodegradable polymers with synthetic polymers. It is a large area that needs a intensive research to investigate the blends properties and its behavior face to the different t…
This work intends to investigate the effect of sun light radiation on the polymers and blend films of polypropylene (PP) and poly(hidroxybutirate-valerate) (PHBV), throught Fourier transform infrared (FTIR, refletion infrared (ATR), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM)and contact angle.
The plastic, since its invention by Alexander Parkes in 1862, has been very used to decrease commercial costs and feed consumerist tendency of modern society. Nowadays, the damages caused by plastic discard in environmental have reached large proportions. In the specific case of the supermarket bags, the raw material is the plastic film, produced from high and how density polyethylene (HD…
Biodegradable polymers and blends have been intensively studied by the scientific community nowadays due to the increasing quantity of non-biodegradable synthetic plastic garbage. Poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) is a biodegradable polymer produced from renewable resources that is extensively used in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications, and an example would be for controlled drug deliver…
