    Influence of electron beam irradiation on the mechanical properties of pbat/pla polymeric blend
    2021 - MUNHOZ, PEDRO M.; NASCIMENTO, FERNANDO C.; SILVA, LEONARDO G. de A. e; HARADA, JULIO; CALVO, WILSON A.P.
    The aim of this research was to evaluate the changes in the mechanical properties of poly(butylene adipate co-terephthalate)/poly(lactic acid) (PBAT/PLA) polymeric blend after the radiation process at different radiation doses. The irradiation was performed in an electron beam accelerator, with 1.5 MeV of energy and 25 mA electric current. The samples were irradiated with doses of 5, 10, 15, 25, 50, 65 and 80 kGy. Both irradiated and non-irradiated samples were characterized by Izod pendulum impact resistance and tensile strength at rupture. The results showed an increase of 44% in relation to Izod impact resistance at a dose of 65 kGy. However, the module of elasticity decreased 56% and tensile strength at rupture decreased 55% at the same radiation dose. In relation to elongation, significant alterations caused by electron beam irradiation was not observed. Therefore, it can be concluded that irradiated blends could be used to make environmentally friendly products, which could absorb impact energy.

    Poly (butylene adipate co-terephthalate)/poly (lactic acid) (PBAT/PLA) blend characterization processed by electron beam
    2019 - MUNHOZ, PEDRO M.; SILVA, LEONARDO G. de A. e; HARADA, JULIO; NASCIMENTO, FERNANDO C.; CALVO, WILSON A.P.
    The aim of this research was to check the changes in the mechanical and thermal properties of poly(butylene adipate co-terephthalate)/poly(lactic acid) (PBAT/PLA) polymeric blend, which commercial name is Ecovio®, after radiation processing in different absorbed doses. PBAT and PLA are biodegradable polymers and the Ecovio® polymeric blend consists of at least 80% of polymers from renewable resources. The irradiation was performed in a Radiation Dynamics Inc. electron beam accelerator, with 1.5 MeV of energy and electric current of 25 mA. Samples were prepared for micrograph, mechanical and thermal analyses. These samples were irradiated with absorbed doses of 5 kGy, 10 kGy, 15 kGy, 25 kGy and 50 kGy. The samples, after irradiation, were submitted to experiments of ultimate strength, tensile strength, ultimate elongation, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed a good interaction between the components of the polymeric blends and the radiation effect on polymeric blend promoted changes in PBAT and PLA polymers, increasing tenacity of these biopolymers and consequently facilitating yarn formation in processing. In conclusion, these irradiated blends could be used to make environmental friendly products.
