  • Comparative effects of untreated and 3-Methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (cas 2530-85-0) treated ZnO nanoparticle reinforcement on properties of polylactide-based nanocomposite films

    Polylactide (PLA) nanocomposites characterized by antimicrobial properties are gaining increasing attention for food packaging. In this contribution, the PLA based nanocomposite films with multifunctional end-use properties were achieved by incorporating ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) [untreated: ZnO(UT) and 3-Methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (cas 2530-85-0) treated: ZnO(ST)] into polymer matrix via solvent casting method. The ZnO(ST) prevented the degradation of PLA at higher temperature and improved the mechanical property. Color, transparency, and anti-UV properties of composite films were influenced by the incorporation of ZnO NPs. Contrary to untreated ZnO, the treated NPs were more effective in enhancing the tortuosity of the diffusive path for the oxygen molecules to diffuse through the film. The glass transition (Tg) and crystallization (Tc) temperatures of composites were improved by the addition of ZnO, whereas a higher Tg was recorded for ZnO(ST) loaded films. XRD demonstrated the change in crystallinity of the films with NPs addition. Nanoparticles well distributed in the composite films as observed through SEM however spots of agglomeration were observed for PLA/ZnO(UT) films. Developed films especially incorporated with ZnO(ST) were found to be active against both Gram-negative (Salmonella Typhimurium) and Gram-positive (Listeria monocytogenes) bacteria. Therefore, PLA/ZnO nanocomposite films could be considered as environment-friendly active packaging material for food preservation.
