Abstract

CdSe nanostructures, well-investigated for their optical properties, have been evaluated here as functional fillers in polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) films, for packaging applications. Polymer-nanocomposite films of PVA and CdSe nanoparticles (nanospheres and nanorods), were evaluated for their thermal, mechanical, optical and physico-chemical properties. Microemulsion-synthesized CdSe were loaded in PVA films by solution casting method. CdSe-PVA films were prepared at varying morphology (spherical to rod-like) of CdSe, by controlling the reaction time (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 h) at 1% (by weight) loading. The effect of loading of CdSe was also studied at 0.1, 0.5, 1, 5, and 10% (by weight) for the reaction time of 4 h. CdSe nanoparticles were characterized by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). The melting point and heat of fusion of CdSe-PVA films (for the reaction time of 4 h) exhibited the maximum values of 216.9 ± 0.73 °C and 6.78 ± 0.24 J/g, respectively, at 1% (by weight) of CdSe, as compared with 209.8 ± 0.52 °C and 3.76 ± 0.1 J/g for plain PVA film. The CdSe-PVA films with spherical CdSe showed the maximum enhancement of 118 and 87.4% for Young’s modulus (MPa) and modulus of toughness (MPa), respectively as compared with PVA films. With increasing load of CdSe, the CdSe-PVA films showed an increase in the two moduli with maximum enhancement of 124 and 57 at 10% (by weight) of CdSe, as compared with PVA films. The optical, colorimetric, chemical resistance, UV-hindrance, water content and antibacterial properties of CdSe-PVA films were also investigated.

用于包装的 CdSe/聚乙烯醇纳米复合薄膜：热学、机械、光学和物理化学特性

碲化镉（CdSe）纳米结构的光学特性已得到充分研究，本研究将其作为聚乙烯醇（PVA）薄膜中的功能性填料，用于包装应用。对 PVA 和硒化镉纳米颗粒（纳米球和纳米棒）的聚合物纳米复合薄膜的热、机械、光学和物理化学性能进行了评估。通过溶液浇铸法将微乳液合成的碲化镉添加到 PVA 薄膜中。通过控制反应时间（0、2、4、6 和 8 小时），在 CdSe 的负载量为 1%（重量比）时，制备出不同形态（球形到棒状）的 CdSe-PVA 薄膜。通过高分辨率透射电子显微镜（HR-TEM）和 X 射线衍射仪（XRD）对硒化镉纳米粒子进行了表征。CdSe-PVA 薄膜的熔点和熔融热（反应时间为 4 小时）在 CdSe 含量为 1%（重量比）时分别达到最大值 216.9 ± 0.73 ℃ 和 6.78 ± 0.24 J/g，而普通 PVA 薄膜的熔点和熔融热分别为 209.8 ± 0.52 ℃ 和 3.76 ± 0.1 J/g。与 PVA 薄膜相比，含有球形 CdSe 的 CdSe-PVA 薄膜的杨氏模量（兆帕）和韧性模量（兆帕）分别提高了 118% 和 87.4%。随着 CdSe 负载的增加，CdSe-PVA 薄膜的两种模量都有所提高，与 PVA 薄膜相比，CdSe 含量达到 10%（重量比）时，两种模量分别提高了 124% 和 57%。此外，还研究了 CdSe-PVA 薄膜的光学、比色、耐化学性、紫外线阻碍、含水量和抗菌性能。
