Casting Antimicrobial Packaging Films and Measuring Their Physical Properties and Antimicrobial Activity

Jung H. Han, John D. Floros · 1 Oct 1997

Antimicrobial film was extruded using LDPE resins and potassium sorbate powder; its tensile properties, transparency and antimicrobial activity were measured to examine the adaptability as a packaging material. The tensile properties were not affected significantly by the incorporation of potassium sorbate to 3% (w/w) in the film. However, transparency of the film decreased as the…

PLastic Films for Agricultural Applications

Enrique Espí, A. Salmerón, A. Fontecha et al. · 1 Apr 2006

The most important agricultural applications of plastic films are greenhouse, walk-in tunnel and low tunnel covers, and mulching. The raw materials are usually low density polyethylene (LDPE) and ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) or ethylene-butyl acrylate (EBA) copolymers for the covers and linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) for mulching. The market is explosively growing in China, and…

Mechanical, Physical, and Barrier Properties of Poly(Lactide) Films

Rafael Auras, Bruce Harte, Susan E. M. Selke et al. · 1 Apr 2003

High molecular mass poly(lactide), (PLA), is an attractive polymer family because in addition to being thermoplastic, biodegradable, compostable, and produced from annually renewable resources, it shows mechanical and barrier behavior comparable to synthetic polymers like polystyrene (PS) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Furthermore, technology for large-scale fabrication of PLA has been fully developed. However, there is…

A review of filled and pristine polycarbonate blends and their applications

Ayesha Kausar · 27 Jan 2017

Polycarbonate is an important thermoplastic polymer. Due to its high performance, polycarbonate has a range of engineering applications in construction, automotive, aircraft, data storage, electrical, and telecommunication hardware. However, polycarbonate’s use is limited in advanced applications due to limitations, such as strong hydrophobicity, relatively limited chemical functionality, high melt viscosity, notch sensitivity of mechanical properties,…

An Overview of Starch-Based Plastic Blends from Reactive Extrusion

Sathya Kalambur, Syed S. H. Rizvi · 1 Jan 2006

The North American market for biodegradable plastics in 2005 was estimated to be around 60 million pounds (27 kt). Starch-based polymer blends were expected to account for 30 million pounds (14 kt) with significantly lower growth rates than other biodegradable polymers such as polyesters. The main hurdle in the growth of starch-based products is the…
