Morphology and permeability of bio-based poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT), poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) blend films control shelf-life of packaged bread

Nattinee Bumbudsanpharoke et al.

Summary: Blending PBAT and PBS modified the morphology and permeability of bio-based films, while blending with LLDPE resulted in incompatibility. LLDPE/PBAT films had lower T-alpha than neat PBAT and LLDPE, while T-alpha of PBAT/PBS blends decreased with increasing PBS content, indicating diverse polymer compatibility and molecular mobility.

Kiattichai Wadaugsorn et al.

Summary: Blending of plasticized hydroxypropyl cassava thermoplastic starch (TPS) with polybutylene adipate terephthalate (PBAT) via blown-film extrusion was studied. Higher DS values were found to increase film clarity and glossy surface, reduce crystallinity, improve hydrophilicity, mechanical properties and compatibility between PBAT and TPS. Modified DS in hydroxypropyl starch efficiently improved clarity, mechanical and barrier properties of bioplastic packaging.

Highly transparent biaxially oriented poly(ester amide) film with improved gas barrier properties and good mechanical strength

Hongwei Gao et al.

Summary: A high-performance biaxially oriented PET film (BOPETA) is prepared by incorporating 4 mol% amide units formed by 1,12-dodecanediamine and terephthalic acid, which enhances interchain forces through the formation of hydrogen bonds. The BOPETA film exhibits improved crystallinity and mechanical properties, as well as lower water and oxygen permeabilities compared to BOPET. Additionally, the optical properties of the BOPETA film remain good after incorporating amide units, with a light transmittance of 88.8% and slight anti-UV performance. This work discusses a simple approach for preparing PET films with good mechanical strength, high transparency, and improved gas barrier properties for packaging.
