    Development of sustainable food packaging material based on biodegradable polymer reinforced with cellulose nanocrystals
    2022 - ANDRADE, MARCIO S.; ISHIKAWA, OTAVIO H.; COSTA, ROBSON S.; SEIXAS, MARCUS V.S.; RODRIGUES, RITA C.L.B.; MOURA, ESPERIDIANA A.B.
    The increased environmental impact and sustainability issues related to conventional food packaging have gained attention and led to a global concern. The massive consumption of conventional food packaging has increased disposal of non-eco-friendly packaging waste, severely damaging the environment. The replacement by sustainable packaging is an important alternative to reduce the enormous volume of plastic waste. In this work, bionanocomposite films composed of PBAT/PLA blend and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) extracted from agro-waste were investigated. Characterization of CNCs confirmed that nanocrystals were obtained. Bionanocomposite films presented better hydrophobic character and thermal stability than the blend film. In addition, the tensile strength, elongation at break, and Young's modulus was around 52%, 29%, and 118%, respectively, higher than blend films. These mechanical values were comparable to values of commercial plastic materials that are extensively used in food packaging. Thus, the prepared bionanocomposite films might be an interesting alternative to produce sustainable food packaging materials.

    Production and characterization of PBAT reinforced with clay and graphene oxide nanosheets
    2020 - COSTA, ROBSON S.; ARAUJO, DANIELLE G.; ANDRADE, MARCIO S. de; OLIVEIRA, RENE R.; RANGARI, VIJAYA; MOURA, ESPERIDIANA A.B.; DIAS, FRANCISCO V.
    The poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT), a biodegradable polymer, is among the most promising materials to be considered as environmentally friendly high performance biodegradable plastics. However, the mechanical properties of PBAT are not the best for several applications. According to the literature, the properties of the biodegradable polymer can be improved by addition of a small amount of nanofillers, such as clay, silica, and graphene. The objective of this study is to compare the effect of the addition of Cloisite clay and graphene oxide (GO) on the properties of flexible films based on PBAT matrix. The composite films based on PBAT with addition of Cloisite (2.0 wt%) and PBAT composite films with addition of Cloisite and GO (0.1–0.2 wt%) were prepared by extrusion, using a twin-screw extruder and a flat die single extruder. The effects of the addition of Cloisite clay and graphene oxide on mechanical and thermal properties of films were evaluated by mechanical and water absorption tests, FE-SEM, XRD, and Raman analysis.

    A bibliometric analysis of the strategy and performance measurement of the polymer matrix nanomaterials development scenario globally, and the participation of Brazil
    2020 - COSTA, ROBSON S.; MOURA, ESPERIDIANA A.B.
    Extensive studies have been conducted worldwide on the strategy for the development of nanomaterials. One of the known strategies for this has aroused interest in the market is the incorporation of the nanoparticles, extracted from the residues in thematrices of the polymers for the production of environmentally correct nanocomposites. This work presents a survey of the scientific knowledge of nanomaterials of the polymer matrix and a panoramic view of the evolution of these nanomaterials are subject, in order to meet the criteria of sustainable development due to the environmental concerns. This study also intends to use bibliometric tools to database acquisition and analysis of bibliographic reviews for an evaluation of the scenarios in the world on the development of polymeric nanomaterials based on three different classes of polymeric nanocomposites: polymer/clay; polymer/graphene, and polymer/nanocellulose nanocomposites.
