Polyethylene with MoS2 nanoparticles toward antibacterial active packaging

Pedro Castillo et al.

Summary: In this study, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanoparticles were obtained through liquid phase exfoliation with the presence of chitosan, and then melt mixed with linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) to produce novel antimicrobial active packaging materials. These nanoparticles formed aggregates that were well dispersed in the polymer matrix, providing several functionalities to the LLDPE, including antimicrobial behavior and changes in surface properties. Despite significantly increasing water vapor permeation, MoS2 showed a decrease in oxygen permeation. The nanocomposites exhibited promising potential for the development of antibacterial active packaging films without compromising the mechanical properties of the pure LLDPE matrix.

Improving Mechanical and Barrier Properties of Antibacterial Poly(Phenylene Sulfide) Nanocomposites Reinforced with Nano Zinc Oxide-Decorated Graphene

Chi-Hui Tsou et al.

Summary: In this study, nano zinc oxide-decorated graphene (G-ZnO) was blended with polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) to improve its mechanical, thermal, crystalline, and barrier properties. The addition of G-ZnO enhanced the tensile strength, elongation at break, and water vapor permeability of PPS. The antimicrobial properties of the nanocomposites were also improved. The improvement in barrier performance can be attributed to the extended penetration path, narrowed transmission path, and hydrophobic surface of the nanocomposites.
