Owing to its traits, PLA stands out as one of the most widely used polymers in various fields. Nevertheless, environmental conditions, such as heat, UV light, and humidity have negative impacts on the polymer's performance as a result of the accelerating aging process. In this study, we present a novel acceptor–donor (AD) Schiff base molecule that demonstrates significant UV stabilization when incorporated into the polymer's matrix. The stabilization effect of the AD molecule was studied by using the weight loss method and tracking the functional group indices of CO (I<sub>CO</sub>) and O<span></span>H (I<sub>OH</sub>) that emerge because of polymer degradation after irradiation with UV light for 300 h. The films' structures were studied by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), and energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX) to evaluate the stabilization enhancement of AD moiety. The results exhibit a significant decrease in weight loss for blended PLA, in contrast to blank PLA. The weight loss percentage reduced from 2.5 for blank PLA to less than 0.7 for blended PLA. Furthermore, I<sub>CO</sub> and I<sub>OH</sub> indices witness a remarkable reduction which verifies the improved photodegradation resulting from AD moiety. The suggested method involves the efficient absorption of UV radiation produced during photo-degradation by the AD molecule, which then emits this light as visible blue light without causing any damage to PLA film's chemical structure. Our results demonstrate the adaptability of AD molecules as PLA photo-stabilizers and point to their wider significance for sustainable material applications. This work advances the stability of PLA films and provides opportunities for the creation of novel stabilization techniques based on organic electrical principles. Future studies may examine the multipurpose uses of the AD molecule in sensor materials and other contexts.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Highlights</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 <ul>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Presenting a novel acceptor–donor Schiff base as a phot stabilizer of PLA.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Using the weight loss method and tracking the functional group indices to test the degradation.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>A significant decrease in weight loss for blended PLA, in contrast to blank PLA.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>The Schiff base absorbing UV light, excited electrons from ground state to excited state.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>They return to the ground state and produce bright blue light.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>These movement of electrons cause no damage to the PLA polymer cha","PeriodicalId":17662,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vinyl & Additive Technology","volume":"30 6","pages":"1570-1583"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141588326","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}

Comprehensive mechanical, dielectrical, magnetic, and shielding tests were conducted to assess the performance of these novel materials. The mechanical characteristics of the composites were assessed to gauge their flexibility and robustness. In this regard, PV4 displayed a substantial tensile strength of 68 MPa, while PV6 exhibited an enhanced shore-D hardness rating of 47. PV6 demonstrates superior dielectric properties, including a higher dielectric constant and a lower loss tangent, which are crucial for optimizing EMI shielding efficiency. When it comes to magnetic characteristics such as magnetization, retentivity, and coercivity, the PV6 composite designation outperforms the other composites. Additionally, PV6 exhibits higher electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness, measuring at approximately 49.8 dB in the E band and 56.5 dB in the F band. Findings demonstrate that the integration of carbon quantum dots and cobalt nanoparticles into the matrix resulted in flexible composites with enhanced mechanical strength. The incorporation of cobalt contributed to notable magnetic properties, increasing the materials' magnetization and retentivity. The tests on electromagnetic interference (EMI) showed that the shielding effectiveness got improved.

Additives help tailor the performance of new materials to meet packaging needs and to efficiently run on film converting and packaging equipment. Examples include antioxidants for thermo-oxidative stability during extrusion, slip and antiblock agents to improve film handling and frictional properties, polymer process aides (PPAs) to delay the onset of flow instabilities and increase output, pigments for coloring films and creating light barrier, antifog agents to improve wetting of film surfaces, antistat agents to reduce static charge, and nucleating agents for increasing the rate of crystallization and controlling crystalline morphology. This paper provides a brief history of the development and use of additives in flexible packaging, focusing on polyolefins. It then looks forward at new challenges and opportunities for additive development. One area is regulatory driven, most recently replacing per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)-containing PPAs with non-PFAS technology. The industry has had to respond very rapidly to changing regulations and introduce new technology. The challenge is understanding the impact of the new technology on performance. A second area is sustainability where additives will be critical for upgrading the performance of mechanically recycled post-consumer packaging waste, redesigning flexible packaging structures so that they can be recycled in the PE-stream, and using bio-based or compostable polymers.

In order to effectively reduce noise, the application of sound absorbing textile materials has gradually increased, also the rapid development of acoustic coating consists of conventional fiber layers and polymers. In this work, the surface morphology, micro-structure and sound absorption properties of polyvinyl alcohol coated fabric and its composites were studied. It was found that the addition of nano-TiO<sub>2</sub> particles can obviously improve the sound absorption properties, and the absorption coefficient is related to fabric thickness. Furthermore, the surface of the coated fabric was compounded with melt-blown nonwoven fabric, thus to fabricate composite sound absorber. This work indicates the good feasibility and promising application prospect of lightweight polyvinyl alcohol coated fabrics in noise reduction engineering.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Highlights</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 <ul>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Combination of fiber layers and polymers for acoustic coating materials.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Adding inorganic nano-TiO<sub>2</sub> particles with different contents.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Different modification methods to improve the dispersion of coating.</li>\u0000 \u0000 <li>Composite structure with reduced thickness and increased sound absorption.</li>\u0000 </ul>\u0000 </div>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":17662,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vinyl & Additive Technology","volume":"30 6","pages":"1503-1513"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141502408","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}
