Study on the Reaction of Acetylated Konjac Glucomannan and EVA during Processing

Article Preview

Abstract:

The transesterification in acetylated konjac glucomannan/ethylene vinyl acetate (AKGM/EVA) melting blend system with the presence of dibutyltin oxide (DBTO) catalyst was investigated by means of a torque rheometer during compounding. The characteristics of the products were evaluated by DSC and FT-IR. The glass transition temperature at about 179.4 °C was found in the DSC curve of AKGM-EVA, the equilibrium torque of AKGM/EVA with 0.25 wt% DBTO was lower than that without DBTO. The results showed that the transesterification took place in the AKGM/EVA blend system.
