Effect of glycerol plasticizer loading on the physical
Among the plasticizing agents, glycerol has been used as a plasticizer to produce starch-based films because of its compatibility with amylose 50, which stimulates better mechanical properties...
Characterization of Glycerol and Aloe Vera as Plasticizer
of a plasticizer; 30% glycerol, 30% aloe Vera (AV) gel, or a combination of 30% glycerol with 1% AV powder. First, a Banbury mixer was applied to prepare the resin, followed by a hot-pressed technique to obtain a thin film. Glycerol acted as a plasticizer disturbed the functional group appearance of PE-S-based film.
Development and Characterization of Cornstarch-Based
Universiti Putra Malaysia Munir Faraj Alkbir Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin | UniSZA This work aims to develop cornstarch (CS) based films using fructose (F), glycerol (G), and their...
Glycerol as an efficient plasticizer to increase the DC
Sigma-Aldrich provided all of the chemical components (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia). The primary solution set was made by dissolving 0.6 g of PVA (at 80 °C) and 0.4 g of MC at ambient temperature in distilled (40 mL) water in closed caps separately using a solution cast process.
- Can glycerol and aloe vera be used as plasticizer?
- Characterization of Glycerol and Aloe Vera as Plasticizer in Polyethylene/Starch-Based Film The combination of starch (S) and polyethylene (PE) increased the mechanical properties of starch and improved the degradation ability of PE. However, the polyethylene-starch (PE-S) combination has inconsistent mechanical properties performance.
- Can glycerol be used as a plasticizer for starch film?
- Incorporating 30% glycerol into PE-S as a plasticizer proved but disturbed the film’s mechanical performance. Nevertheless, the addition of 30% AV gel shows that AV gel was not essential and could not act as a plasticizer for the starch film when the agglomeration of starch was obvious, proving no improvement in adhesion between starch and PE.
- Can glycerol be used as a plasticizer?
- This study showed that the control AS films were brittle, fragile, and not peelable from the Petri dishes. Hence, the incorporation of glycerol as a plasticizer to AS film-forming solutions led to a decrease in the brittleness, fragility, and increase flexibility and peel ability of AS films.
- What is glycerol-sorbitol plasticized film?
- Generally, the performances exhibited by glycerol-sorbitol plasticized film are found between biopolymer film with glycerol or sorbitol only. The physical attributes of the film that have been studied, include mechanical properties, OP, WVP, heat seal-ability and microstructure.
- Can glycerol and AV gel be used as plasticizers?
- Glycerol and AV gel acted as plasticizers to convert starch into thermoplastic starch, improving the homogeneity during the melt-mixing process and improving adhesion with PE. Kormin et al. (2019) stated that plasticizers improved the incorporation of starch in low-density polyethylene.
- Can glycerol plasticizer be used to plasticize PVA MC?
- Nevertheless, no comprehensive research on PVA:MC doped with NaI and plasticized using glycerol plasticizer has been reported. Film-forming compounds like polysaccharides are generally mixed with a plasticizer molecule to increase their mechanical and structural qualities in most of these applications.
