Impact of Nanoparticles on Structure and Functional Properties of PBTG Biofilms

Abstract:

Biopolymer composites are required to enhance their mechanical properties and heat resistance for the industrial applications. Especially, the addition of nanoparticles in biopolymers can give various functionalities such as electrical, thermal and mechanical properties. In this study, the nanoparticles having functional characteristics were used to enhance heat resistance, tensile properties, and electrical conductivity of PBTG biofilms. Changes in tensile, crystalline and thermal properties of PBTG films with different additives (carbon black, sepiolite, zinc oxide, MWCNT) were investigated by the tensile tester and the instrument of XRD, DSC and TGA. As the results, Electrical conductivity of the biofilms was improved up to 10^-5S/cm by adding MWCNT. And tensile modulus of PBTG biofilms with MWCNT was 1.37 times higher than the pure PBTG film. But their heat-resistance characteristics were not significantly affected by adding nanoparticles.
