The application of starch based materials for packaging purposes has attracted significant interest because they are both cheap and renewable resources. The study investigated the preparation and properties of a novel biopolymer sheet produced from a blend of maleated epoxidized natural rubber (MENR) and natural rubber-g-cassava starch (NR-g-CSt). The water resistance, toluene resistance and elongation at break of the polymer blend were enhanced after the addition of the MENR compared to pristine NR-g-CSt. The maximum tensile strength and thermal stability of the NR-g-CSt/MENR blend were found in the 100:50 NR-g-CSt:MENR blend. The novel films demonstrated good biodegradability in soil.
淀粉基材料在包装方面的应用引起了人们的极大兴趣,因为它们既便宜又可再生。本研究探讨了马来酸酐接枝环氧化天然橡胶(MENR)和天然橡胶-木薯淀粉(NR-g-CSt)共混物制备新型生物聚合物片材的方法及其性能。与纯 NR-g-CSt 相比,添加 MENR 后,聚合物共混物的耐水性、耐甲苯性和断裂伸长率得到提高。在 NR-g-CSt/MENR 共混物中,当 NR-g-CSt:MENR 为 100:50 时,共混物的拉伸强度和热稳定性达到最大值。新型薄膜在土壤中表现出良好的生物降解性。
