Nowadays, the need to reduce the dependence on fuel products and to achieve a sustainable development is of special importance due to environmental concerns. Therefore, new alternatives must be sought. In this work, extruded fibers from poly (lactic acid) (PLA) and poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) added with cinnamon essential oil (CEO) were prepared and characterized, and the hydrolytic degradation was assessed. A two-phase system was observed with spherical particles of PBAT embedded in the PLA matrix. The thermal analysis showed partial miscibility between PLA and PBAT. Mechanically, Young's modulus decreased and the elongation at break increased with the incorporation of PBAT and CEO into the blends. The variation in weight loss for the fibers was below 5% during the period of hydrolytic degradation studied with the most important changes at 37 °C and pH 8.50. From microscopy, the formation of cracks in the fiber surface was evidenced, especially for PLA fibers in alkaline medium at 37 °C. This study shows the importance of the variables that influence the performance of polyester-cinnamon essential oil-based fibers in agro-industrial applications for horticultural product preservation.
如今,由于环境问题,减少对燃料产品的依赖并实现可持续发展的需求尤为重要。因此,必须寻找新的替代品。在这项工作中,制备并表征了添加肉桂精油(CEO)的聚乳酸(PLA)和聚己二酸丁二醇酯-对苯二甲酸丁二醇酯(PBAT)挤出纤维,并评估了其水解降解性能。观察到一个两相体系,其中PBAT的球形颗粒嵌入PLA基体中。热分析表明PLA和PBAT之间存在部分混溶性。在力学性能方面,随着PBAT和CEO加入到共混物中,杨氏模量降低,断裂伸长率增加。在所研究的水解降解期间,纤维的重量损失变化低于5%,在37℃和pH 8.50时变化最为显著。通过显微镜观察,证实了纤维表面出现裂纹,特别是在37℃碱性介质中的PLA纤维。这项研究表明了影响聚酯-肉桂精油基纤维在园艺产品保鲜农业工业应用中性能的变量的重要性。
