The physicochemical properties of prepared films were analyzed by using different instrumental techniques. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) results revealed the good interaction and miscibility among the components of the films. The thermal stability of ellagic acid incorporated PVA film (EA-1) shown more thermal stability in contrast with other films confirmed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) analysis. From the results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) study, the increased amorphous nature was observed for the EA-3 and EA-4 films. Surface morphology was analyzed by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) which illustrates that prepared films exhibits smooth and homogeneous surface after blending with ellagic acid. The results obtained by measuring water contact angles (WCA) revealed that all the films have hydrophilic nature. All the prepared films have exhibited good mechanical properties, hence prepared films can act as promising material for food packaging application.Keywords: Polyvinyl alcoholchitosanguargumellagic acidblend films AcknowledgmentsThe authors gratefully acknowledge the facilities provided by University Science Instruments Center (USIC), DST-SAIF and DST PURSE- Phase II Programme, Karnatak University, Dharwad, Karnataka, India, also Dr. Saraswati P Masti Principal investigator DST-SERB Project, No. SB/EMEQ-213/2014, Department of Chemistry, Karnatak Univesity’s, Karnatak Science College, Dharwad, Karnataka, India, for their support to this study.Author contributionAll the authors contributed to the study conception and design.

The thermal decomposition and kinetics of cured one-packed systems were investigated in detail. The epoxy systems were studied under a nitrogen atmosphere by using thermal gravimetric analysis at different heating rates. The kinetics of thermal decomposition was evaluated by Flynn-Wall-Ozawa, Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose, and Starink methods. The correlation coefficient for all systems obtained by the three above methods was almost equal to one, indicating that these three methods were correctly chosen. The results demonstrated that the activation energy of epoxy/Dicy blended with different phosphorous-containing DDS- and DDM-derived curing agents at a lower degree of conversion decreased by incorporation of the agents while increasing at a higher degree of conversion. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔH*, ΔG*, and ΔS*) of the studied systems were calculated by the obtained activation energy via three kinetics methods. It was found that as the conversion degree and the enthalpy increased, the Gibbs free energy decreased, while entropy changed from negative to positive values.Keywords: Epoxy resinflame retardantdicyandiamideFlynn-Wall-OzawaKissinger-Akahira-SunoseStarinkthermodynamic parameters Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":14236,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Polymer Analysis and Characterization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135883687","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Importance of this biasing can be assessed by the significant improvement in thermal and mechanical properties we have recently published for polyurethane-2D clay nanocomposite coatings. We intricately look at the nanoscale structure and subsequent interface formation between 2D clay and PU chains to understand the changes in morphology. Polyurethane (PU) chain dynamics was observed through the gold (Au) sputtered patterns in field emission electron microscopy (FESEM) images. These were fitted with circles and our findings confirm the presence of an attractive interface between PU and 2D nanoclay. Circle fitting elicits important data like the critical area (Ac) and critical relative frequency (fc) which are used to evaluate the polymer chain dynamics and morphology. We find that fc is related to circularity, and reinforcing nanoclay to the PU matrix enhances fc by 4.6% and 6.9% with simultaneous use of ultrasonic bath and high shear homogenizer. This is further correlated with the already established methods of small angle X-Ray scattering (SAXS) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to generate a fresh perspective on interfacial interactions in PU-2D clay nanocomposites.Circle fitting treatment FESEM images of polyurethane (PU) nanocomposites.

The raw Borassus leaf fibers were treated with 5 wt.% NaOH solution to reduce the disadvantages of hydroxyl bonding. Rice husk nano-fillers (RHNFs) were blended with epoxy resin to modify them with 0.25, 0.45, and 0.65 wt.%, respectively, using sonication and mechanical stirring process. The prepared samples were assessed to evaluate the thermal stability, maximum degradation temperature, storage modulus (E′), loss modulus (E″), damping factor (tan δ) and Cole–Cole plot of the composites. EDX spectroscopy was used to confirm the elemental composition of nano-biofillers. The morphology of RHNFs was analyzed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The TG analysis confirmed that the 0.45 wt.% RHNFs blended Borassus leaf fiber (BLF) composites exhibited superior thermal stability (371–384 °C). Derivative thermogravimetry (DTG) analysis exposed that the maximum mass-loss degradation temperature of 0.45 wt.% RHNFs blend composites was 411 °C for the first stage and 678 °C for the second stage, which were more than raw and RHNFs blend (0.25 and 0.65 wt.%) composites. Accordingly, improved E′ (959.16–1637.75 MPa), glass transition temperature (T g) from E″ (90.48–97.69 °C) and, T g from tan δ (103.35–109.67 °C) were derived from the modified composites. Owing to the improved dispersion of the nano-filler, the 0.45 wt.% RHNFs blend composites had a homogeneous polymer system, as verified by the Cole–Cole diagram. The analyzed composites are to be used with versatile functionality for their intended purpose.","PeriodicalId":14236,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Polymer Analysis and Characterization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85494093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
