Abstract:

This research studied the effects of the water environment on the mechanical, chemical and morphological changes of environmental degradation polyethylene mulching film. The mechanical characteristics of the environmental degradation polyethylene mulching film immersed in water environment or exposed in air declined. The elongation at break retention of the sample immersed in water reached minimum value for 70 days while 40 days for sample exposed in air. FTIR showed new hydroxyl absorption band appeared at 1717cm-1 after exposed for 60 days. The relative intensity of absorption band of sample exposed in air is higher than sample immersed in water. AFM images showed large fluctuation on the surface after immersed in water or exposed in air for 60days.
