This study focuses on the fabrication and characterization of vermiculite-filled flexible polymer composites. Exfoliated vermiculite was incorporated into triblock thermoplastic elastomer copolymer, styrene- b-(ethylene- co-butylene)- b-styrene (SEBS), at various levels from 1 to 15 wt% by a high shear mixer. The composite films were obtained by the combination of solvent casting and compression molding. The morphological, structural, thermal, and mechanical properties and contact angle of the composites were determined. Some micro-morphological differences were observed between the samples and the difference was assumed to be caused by high shear mixing and filler concentration. High shear mixing was found effective in terms of the detachment of vermiculite layers at all concentrations. However, at low filler loading, that behavior was more obvious. At 1 wt% filler concentration, mechanical properties increased that was probably caused by good filler-matrix interaction stemmed from smaller particle size. At higher vermiculite concentrations, fillers found to show agglomerations that led to a decrease in mechanical strength and strain at break. Elastic and secant modulus showed an increasing trend. Contact angle measurements were carried out to determine the oleophilic character of the samples. An increase in the vermiculite content resulted in higher oleophilic character and the lowest contact angle was obtained at 15 wt% VMT loading. In addition to these, thermal stability, thermal dimensional stability and flame retardancy were improved by the incorporation of VMT. 15 wt% vermiculite-filled sample showed the best performance in terms of thermal stability and flame retardancy.

The laponite-poly (L-lactide) composite films are prepared by the method of solution blending with polylactide (PLA) and laponite. The result shows that the homogeneous and smooth composite film is prepared with 1, 4-dioxane. Thermogravimetry analysis (TG) and tensile strength studies demonstrate that the thermal stability and tensile strength are improved with the laponite added. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurement indicates that the pores of composite films get uniform and network structure is more and more compact with compared to pure PLA film. The present study reveals that the laponite as a complexing agent can improve the mechanical properties and thermal stability of PLA.

lopment of arylalicyclic copolyimides based on alicyclic dianhydride, aromatic dianhydrides of benzophenone- and diphenyloxidetetracarboxylic acids with 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl oxide at various ratios of alicyclic and aromatic dianhydrides, as well as various compositions based on these copolymers with low- or other high-molecular compounds that enhance the characteristics of the polymer matrix. Composite films were formed from solutions of the obtained polymer mixtures, and their properties were studied. It was noted that at optimal ratio of components, the films have improved thermal and strength properties, etc., exceeding the analogous properties of the initial arylalicyclic copolymer, while the elasticity has acceptable values for such material. The best characteristics had the composite films formed from a ternary composition of copo-lyimide-polyethylene glycol-alkylated montmorillonite. Metal-containing composite films, along with higher thermal stability compared to unmodified copolyimide, were resistant to aggressive reagents, lower values of specific volume and surface resistance, higher viscosity values, and different colors depending on the nature of the salt. By introducing a silicon-containing compound into the copolyimide solution, the new polymer systems have been obtained, and the porous films could be formed.

The leather industry generates considerable amounts of solid waste and raises many environmental concerns during its disposal. The presence of collagen in these wastes provides a potential protein source for the fabrication of bio-based value-added products. Herein, a novel composite film was fabricated by incorporating vegetable-tanned collagen fiber (VCF), a mechanically ground powder-like leather waste, into a chitosan matrix and crosslinked with genipin. The obtained composite film showed a compact structure and the hydrogen bonding interactions were confirmed by FTIR analysis, indicating a good compatibility between chitosan and VCF. The optical properties, water absorption capacity, thermal stability, water vapor permeability and mechanical properties of the composite films were characterized. The incorporation of VCF into chitosan led to significant decreases in opacity and solubility of the films. At the same time, the mechanical properties, water vapor permeability and thermal stability of the films were improved. The composite film exhibited antibacterial activity against food-borne pathogens. Results from this research indicated the potential of the genipin-crosslinked chitosan/VCF composites for applications in antimicrobial packaging.

In this study, agricultural residue from black oat, a cover crop usually grown to improve soil nutrients between the periods of regular crop production, was used as a source of cellulose fibers. Concentrations of 1, 3, and 5 wt. % of regenerated cellulose (RC) fibers blended in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) solution were used to prepare the reinforced composite films (CFs) by the solvent cast method. Compared to neat PVA film (control), the effects of RC addition on functional properties of CFs, such as water absorption, transparency, thermal stability, and mechanical property were investigated. All CFs with different RC concentrations exhibited improved mechanical property and thermal stability while the swelling property was decreased, and no significant changes were observed in the film transparency as compared with the control film. Among the CFs, films with 3% RC significantly decreased water vapor transmission rate, swelling, and soluble fraction (p < 0.05). In addition, Young’s modulus and tensile strength were increased by 40 MPa and 3 MPa, respectively, while elongation at break was decreased by 4%, compared to the control film. The results indicate that RC from black oat might be feasible as potential bio fillers to improve film properties in a bio-based composite matrix.

A series of blend films of cellulose and chitosan were prepared from 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazole acetate ([Emim] Ac) by coagulating with ethanol. Structure, mechanical properties, thermal stability and antibacterial properties were investigated. The results showed that there were strong interactions and good compatibility between cellulose and chitosan in blend films. The blend films possess good mechanical properties and thermal stability, and the existence of chitosan endows blend films with antimicrobial property.
