The biodegradable composite films were prepared from bagasse microcrystalline cellulose as filler and poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) as polymeric matrix. The crystallinity, the tensile properties and the thermal properties of the composites were tested. Bagasse microcrystalline cellulose was distributed in PVA films as the crystalline state. The results show that the tensile properties and thermal properties were improved with the addition of bagasse microcrystalline cellulose. When bagasse microcrystalline cellulose mass fraction was 5%, both temperature of initial decomposition and maximum weight loss rate of composite film were raised by 11.71°C and 36.86°C, and the tensile strength increased by 17.88%, and the elongation at break increased by 36.62% compared to those of pure PVA.

Konjac glucomannan (KGM) and poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) were mixed to form gel-like polyelectrolyte solution with glycerol and sorbitol as compound plasticizer, which was used to prepare packaging films via casting and drying. The results show that the tensile strength and elongation at break of the packaging films drop sharply when the blending temperature and blending time exceed 80 °C and 3.5 h. When the mass ratio of sorbitol and glycerol in the compound plasticizer ranges from 1:1 to 1:3, it is beneficial to improve the tensile strength of the packaging films. The microscopic reasons for the change of the tensile properties of the packaging films are mainly caused by diffusion-stop-continuing diffusion—precipitation of low-molecular electrolyte, which makes the system shift from equilibrium-homogeneous state- unbalanced state—heterogeneous state.

We have fabricated random and aligned feather keratin (FK)/PVA composite nanofibers through an electrospinning process. The morphology, molecular interactions, crystallization behavior, and tensile properties of the nanofibers were investigated.

Tensile properties and morphological studies of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE)/poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/kenaf (KNF) composites were investigated. The composites with different KNF loading (0, 10, 20, 30, 40 phr) were prepared using a Thermo Haake Polydrive internal mixer at 150°C and 50 rpm for 10 min. The results indicated that tensile strength and elongation at break were decreased with increasing KNF loading, whereas tensile modulus showed the opposite trend. Tensile fractured surfaces observed by scanning electron microscopy showed better interfacial adhesion between LLDPE/PVA and KNF at 10 phr KNF loading.
