  • mechanical and water barrier properties of corn protein based biodegradable plastics
    Journal of Materials Research, 2000
    Co-Authors: Lodovico Di Gioia, Stephane Guilbert
    Abstract:

    Experiments were performed to evaluate the mechanical and water barrier properties of corn-protein-based materials that were compression molded from Thermoplastic Resins. The influence of varying concentrations of water, glycerol, and octanoic acid was studied. At 0% relative humidity, the material exhibited a linear elastic deformation and a brittle fracture at any glycerol or octanoic acid content. Raising relative humidity from 0% to 97.3%, progressively decreased the tensile strength (from 24.1 to 2.2 MPa and 19.4 to 1.0 MPa), and the modulus of elasticity (from 1.67 to 0.03 GPa and 1.87 to 0.13 GPa), respectively, for the octanoic acid- or glycerol-plasticized materials. Increasing water content did not increase the tensile strain at break of the glycerol-plasticized material, whereas this parameter changed from 1.6 to 52.3% for octanoic-acid-plasticized material. This last material was waterproof during 21 h and its water transmission rate was then 0.05 mmolmm -2 s -1 . Differences in water absorption were related to plasticizer solubility and material structure.

  • corn protein based Thermoplastic Resins effect of some polar and amphiphilic plasticizers
    Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 1999
    Co-Authors: L Di Gioia, Stephane Guilbert
    Abstract:

    Homogeneous blends of corn gluten meal (CGM) and “polar” plasticizers (water, glycerol) or “amphiphilic” plasticizers [octanoic and palmitic acids, dibutyl tartrate and phthalate, and diacetyl tartaric acid ester of mono-diglycerides (DATEM)] were obtained by a hot-mixing procedure. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the blends was measured by modulated differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis, as a function of plasticizer type and content (0−30%, dwb). The plasticizing efficiency (i.e., decrease of Tg) at equal molar content was found to be proportional to the molecular weight and inversely proportional to the percent of hydrophilic groups of the plasticizer. The migration rate of the plasticizers in the polymer was related to their physicochemical characteristics. It was assumed that polar substances interacted with readily accessible polar amino acids, whereas amphiphilic ones interacted with nonpolar zones, which are buried and accessible with difficulty. The tem...

It was assumed that polar substances interacted with readily accessible polar amino acids, whereas amphiphilic ones interacted with nonpolar zones, which are buried and accessible with difficulty. The temperature at which a Thermoplastic resin of plasticized CGM could be formed was closely connected to the T(g) of the blend.
