Full textThe proposition of this work is to improve the barrier property of a laminate aimed to be applied in the field of packaging for foodstuffs. This laminate is constituted by a PET substrate metallized with aluminum deposited under vacuum. Given that PET is not a strongly polar polymer it is necessary to improve its adhesion to metals. This study was carried out in order to understand if there is a way to make sure that the polar groups will be bonded to the metal without being disturbed by the conditions of the environment. Our approach was the semi-batch emulsion polymerization, followed by the restructuration of the initial system (regular spherical polymeric nanoparticles) by changing its original morphology. Finally, the latexes were formulated by using variable amounts of compounds that were expected to improve the properties of the final material in terms of barrier and metallic adhesion. A part of the latexes synthesized in the scope of this work was submitted to pilot trials in an industrial line of PET extrusion. The latexes were used to coat the PET inline. The core-shell nanoparticles presented a lower permeability to water than the particles synthesized in the absence of the seed. This was related to the tortuosity promoted by the core, which increases the pathway of a diffusing molecule. The permeability to oxygen was found to be mainly related to the metallic layer. Given that the latexes were synthesized with the minimum amount of tensioactive necessary to originate stable dispersions, the wettability agent was found to be indispensable for the proper spreading of the coatings onto the PET. Furthermore, this compound played an important role on the adhesion property of the films. The cure agent, in the correct concentration, promotes the adhesion to metallic substrates. Moreover, this compound helped to prevent the interaction of the wettability agent with the water, decreasing consequently the plasticization of the structure in conditions of high humidity

Full textEVOH is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic copolymer composed of polyethylene and polyvinyl alcohol segments in various contents. Thanks to an important cohesive energy density leading to excellent oxygen and food aromas barrier properties in anhydrous state, this material is currently widely used in the elaboration of multilayer food packaging. Its high moisture sensitivity, causing an important deterioration of the properties of the material in hydrated conditions, still constitutes the main inconvenient for its current use. In this context, the studies were firstly focused on the detailed comprehension of the hydration behavior of EVOH in order to underline properties-structure relations, which was still unrealized. Two research axes were then developed in order to improve the barrier properties of the material in both dry and hydrated states, while remaining mechanical behavior and transparency stable: the polymers blend, on the one hand, and the nanocomposite approach on the other hand. The choice of the melting way, rarely described in the literature for these systems, and the one of the fillers nature were dictated by the possibility to easily transpose the experiments to an industrial scale

Full textBeing cellulose the most abundant natural polymer in biosphere, more and more attention has been paid on its new functionalities, sustainability, and renewability. Meanwhile, food packaging materials is one of the largest products we are using in daily life, but most of conventional materials are still oil-based due to their low cost and good performances. Therefore, in order to improve the sustainability and renewability of food packaging materials, this PhD dissertation focuses on development new nano-material (cellulose nanocrystals, CNs) for food packaging and includes mainly four sections. In the first section of this PhD dissertation, we reviewed the progress in knowledge on nano-cellulose first and then, specifically, on CNs. In this section the structure and classifications of various nano-cellulose preparations are included, as well as the preparation, the morphologies, and applications of CNs. In CNs applications, we reviewed that it exhibits excellent barrier, mechanical, and thermal properties itself or combined with other polymers. Particularly, the barrier properties refer to oxygen, water vapor, and migration barrier; mechanical properties are related with tensile strength, Young’s modulus, and strain percentage; the thermal properties include glass transition and melting or decomposition temperature, heat flow, and thermal mechanical parameters. In the second section of this PhD dissertation, to better understand the structure and status of CNs itself or in other polymers, we have used different powerful analytical tools for qualification and quantification. Firstly, we have obtained the relatively precise dimensions of CNs and observe its redispersability in different solvents, mainly water solutions. In the following, we could gain the information of the CNs status in other polymers in order to interpret the final performance efficiently. Finally, we preliminarily concluded that TEM, SEM, and AFM are suitable tools for observing individual crystals, estimating the roughness, and learning the morphology in different scale, respectively. As for the size distribution, functional groups, and interactions between the atoms of CNs, the particle size distributor, FTIR, XPS, and NMR are used for determinations, respectively. In the third section of this PhD dissertation, we have systematically investigated the properties of conventional films coated with CNs. In particular, we have analyzed their optical properties (transparency and haze), mechanical properties (static and dynamic coefficient of friction), anti-fog (contact angle and surface energy) and barrier properties (oxygen and water vapor transmission rates). In doing this, we have demonstrated that CNs coatings mainly lead to a reduction of friction, a premium feature for industrial applications, and that their influence on the optical properties of the packaging is not significant. Excellent anti-fog property guarantees customers more conveniently to evaluate the product inside the packages easily. At last but not the least, CNs coatings dramatically improve not only the oxygen barrier properties of conventional flexible food packaging, but also lead to a certain reduction in the water vapor transmission rate. The perspective use of CNs as multi-functional coatings favors a reduction of the required thickness for plastic films, towards a more environmentally-friendly and sustainable approach to packaging. In the last section of this PhD dissertation, we demonstrated the use of chitosan (CS)/CNs nanocomposites realized by layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly as oxygen barrier under different pH combinations. The oxygen permeability coefficient of CS/CNs nanocomposites is as low as 0.02 cm3 µm m-2 24h-1 kPa-1, close to EVOH co-polymers, under dry conditions. Meanwhile, we consider that CNs has no potential risks for human beings and the renewable origin of the carbohydrate polymers as significant added values that justify a deeper investigation. Finally, it deserves to be underlined also the chance of finely tuning the oxygen permeability by means of the pH values and the sharp control of the thickness associated with this process. Therefore, based on the advantages outlined above, the LbL CS/CNs nanocomposite represents a promising oxygen barrier component in transparent flexible packaging materials and semi rigid tridimensional objects (bottles, trays, boxes and etc.). Based on our researches, we conclude that CNs leads to very promising applications in food packaging field and deserves to be further investigated in the future.

Full textThe present work reports a strategy involving the preparation of silver nanoparticles in a biodegradable polymer stemming from either an ex situ or an in situ method, using in both cases a completely green chemistry process. The influence of the reducing agent concentration and the silver nanoparticles generation route is investigated on the structure, the morphology and the properties of the nanocomposite films. In both routes, silver nanoparticles with a diameter below 30 nm were highlighted in the nanocomposite films. For all nanocomposite films, no modification on the crystalline structure of the starch matrix is observed in the presence of silver. The in situ generation route allowed to obtain the smallest silver nanoparticles with a diameter below 10 nm. Crystalline silver nanoparticles were obtained only from the in situ generation route at the temperature of 85°C. The introduction of montmorillonites in both generation routes was also studied. The decrease of the water sorption and the improvement of water and oxygen barrier properties were found to be not dependent on the reducing agent concentration but mainly on the presence of the crystalline structure of the silver nanoparticles. Thus, significant enhancement of the barrier properties were finally obtained for the in situ nanocomposite films thanks to an efficient interaction between the crystalline silver nanoparticles and the starch matrix

This article is mainly concentrating on Parylene chemical vapor deposition , surface improvement and treatment of substrate as well as analysis of film on Glass、PMMA、Aluminum and its surface adhesion by dipping under A-174 silane solution and conducting on plasma treatment(18 W). Those results can be further analyzed by parylene, which has the characteristic of organic thin film and mechanical properties. Experiments focusing on adhesion of surface treatment of substrate have shown that 600 nm thick glass of deposition on parylene C thin film is able to carry out the maximum capacity raised from 14.1 mN to 18.5 mN. As a result, thin film adhesion can be greatly improved by surface treatment. Secondly, to package flexible organic light-emitting diode components, using PET substrate to manufacture package-chip to experimentally estimate its water vapor transmission rate. To compare the results of surface treatment by using A-174 silane solution and Plasma treatment (18 W) with original one, the water vapor transmission rate result has shown that PET dipping within A-174 silane solution with 600 nm depositing package-chip has better insulation result, which obtaining 3.02 g/m2 × day. To the application of package components, package-chip and Parylene thin film have essentially effect on insulation, but the result has not come out as we anticipate ideally. The possible reason to explain it would be there is an limitation on the characteristic of monomer performance for organic material. To enhance its quality and characteristic, organic material should be combined with other material such as most prevalent used of ABS material, which has characteristic of collision-resistant, good thermal stability and easy processing characteristics. as well as combination of multiple polymer.

An investigation of the oxygen barrier properties of the modified polyamide and nylon clay (MPAyNYC) compound and blow the films is reported first, and blends with different percentage of EVOH in optimization conditions MPA12NYC1 to produce MPAyNYCEVOH barrier resins and blow the films, preparation and discussed the optimization of composition and mechanism of the (MPAy12NYC1)x EVOHy series films. Relative to PE membrane sample, at 25℃ / 65% relative humidity, the oxygen permeation rate was slowly obvious, and that is improved 31.4 and 34.9 times than PE specimen. EVOH specimen is the best result of whole matrix plastic of oxygen barrier properties, the oxygen barrier properties is improved 16133.3 times than PE specimen. An astonishing phenomenon, at 25℃ / every relative humidity, the oxygen permeation rate of MPAyNYC series films is lower than those MPAy and NYC membrane. Moreover, this improvement in oxygen permeation rate reach the best as the MPA contents present in MPAyNYC approach the 12:1 optimum weight ratio of MPA to NYC. On the other hand, the oxygen permeation rate of (MPAy12NYC1)xEVOHy specimen slower than those MPAy12NYC1 specimen, at every relative humidity. The oxygen permeation rate reach lowest as the weight ratio of MPAy12NYC1 to EVOH reached about 4:1. For instance, at 65% relative humidity, the oxygen permeation rate of (MPAy12NYC1)4EVOH1 is about 7.7 (25μm • cm3 / m2 • day • atm), which yield about 628 times oxygen barrier improvements better than that of the PE specimen. Relatively to EVOH specimen, although the oxygen permeation rate increase gradually as relative humidity increase that of the MPAyNYC and (MPAy12NYC1)x EVOHy series specimen, but the range of increased is to be smaller than EVOH specimen. To realize these interesting oxygen permeation barrier mechanisms, the morphology, FT-IR, rheological behavior, wide-angle X-ray diffraction patterns, thermal properties and characteristic of free volume have been every discussed in this paper.
