Abstract

Bio-plastics are biodegradable materials that can be obtained from renewable sources such as corn starch, straw, vegetable fats and oils, wood chips, recycled food waste, sawdust, etc. They can be used as an alternative to the commercial plastics in the market which contaminates our environment. Nowadays bio-plastics are worldwide popular due to their concern towards the environment, limited fossil fuel resources, and climatic change. The purpose of this study is to assess the properties of the starch-based bio-plastics prepared from Amorphophallus paeonifolius and Manihot esculenta using glycerol and agar-agar as the plasticizers. The synthesized bio-plastic was characterized with the help of UV-Visible spectrophotometer, FT-IR spectroscopy, and SEM Analysis. Finally, it is concluded that the bioplastic based on Manihot esculenta and Amorphophallus paeonifolius could be established as a favorable ecological alternative to be used as a developed medical material and the bio-plastic can also be used in packaging, cosmetics, food additives and clothing due to its good properties of resistance and favorable biodegradation.

用甘油和琼脂增塑剂研究魔芋和牡丹作为生物塑料的研究

生物塑料是一种可生物降解的材料，可以从可再生资源中获得，如玉米淀粉、秸秆、植物油脂、木屑、可回收的食物垃圾、锯末等。它们可以作为市场上污染环境的商业塑料的替代品。由于生物塑料对环境、有限的化石燃料资源和气候变化的关注，目前生物塑料在世界范围内受到欢迎。研究了以赤芍和赤芍为原料，以甘油和琼脂为增塑剂制备淀粉基生物塑料的性能。利用紫外可见分光光度计、红外光谱和扫描电镜对合成的生物塑料进行了表征。最后得出结论，以马尼乌特和芍药魔芋为原料的生物塑料具有良好的耐药性和良好的生物降解性，可作为一种良好的生态替代品开发药用材料，并可用于包装、化妆品、食品添加剂和服装等领域。
