Effect of TiO₂ Nanoparticles on Tensile and Photodegradation Behavior of Biopolymer Films Based on Poly(Butylene Succinate)

Abstract:

Tensile and photodegradation behavior of poly (butylene succinate)/titanium dioxide nanoparticles (PBS/TiO₂) composite films were investigated over a range of filler content 0-10 wt%. The surface of TiO₂ nanoparticles was treated using propionic acid (C₃H₆O₂) and n-hexylamine (C₆H₁₅N) order to disperse them into the bipolymer matrices. The nanocomposite materials were prepared by solvent evaporation technique and compression molding machine. All samples with a wide range of filler addition exhibit the translucency. The surface morphology showed that a uniform dispersion of filler in the matrix existed when the nanoparticles content was less than 5 wt%. The results indicated that the percentage of weight loss of the nanocomposite films was higher than the neat PBS owing to UVA and UVC irradiation. Functionalized TiO₂ nanoparticles existing on the surface area suppressed photodegradation of the inner and backside of film specimens. The biopolymer films can easily be degraded by photocatalytic oxidation of TiO₂ under UV irradiation. The introduction of modified TiO₂ into PBS matrix improved the tensile modulus of the nanocomposites.
