    Characterization using X-ray diffraction and study of the crystallinity of the thermoplastic starch/poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) blends irradiated by gamma rays
    2020 - CASTRO, DIONE P. de; GARCIA, RAFAEL H.L.; SILVA, LEONARDO G. de A. e
    The aim of this study was to analyze the changes in the structure and crystallinity of non-irradiated and irradiated thermoplastic starch blends (TPS)/poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) - PBAT and also to evaluate the behavior of castor oil replacing glycerol. In this work, the characterization was performed by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), in which the crystallinity index (IC) of non-irradiated and irradiated blends of TPS/PBAT was calculated, through the software Bruker DIFFRAC.EVA® v4.22. For the plastification of the TPS, glycerol, castor oil and TWEEN® 80 were used to verify their compatibility and establish a comparison among the blends. The samples were prepared by extrusion and irradiated at 25 kGy with gamma rays with a 60Co source. However, the crystallinity indexes of the blends were altered according to the plasticizer used and the use of TWEEN® 80. Thus, it was concluded that replacing glycerol with castor oil is feasible in TPS/PBAT blends.

    XRD characterization thermoplastic STARCH/poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (TPS/PBAT) blends irradiated by gamma rays
    2019 - CASTRO, DIONE P. de; GARCIA, RAFAEL H.L.; SILVA, LEONARDO G. de A. e
    The aim of this research was to check the changes in the structure and crystallinity of non-irradiated and irradiated thermoplastic starch blends (TPS)/poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) - PBAT and also to evaluate the behavior of castor oil in place of glycerol. In this work, the characterization was performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), in which the crystallinity index (IC) of non-irradiated and irradiated blends of TPS/PBAT was calculated. For plastification of the TPS, glycerol, castor oil and TWEEN® 80 were used to verify the compatibility and compare the blends with each other. The samples were prepared by extrusion and irradiated at 25 kGy with gamma rays from a 60Co source. However, the crystallinity indexes of the blends were altered according to the plasticizer used and the use of TWEEN® 80. Thus, it been concluded that glycerol substitution by castor oil is feasible in TPS/PBAT blends.
