It was shown previously that most of the area relaxation process of mixed monolayers could be well represented by a model considering the nucleation and growth mechanisms. The characteristic exponent x values were found to be slightly temperature dependent. The kx values were detected to decrease with increasing temperature. When PVPh was added into the most unstable PEO, the mixed monolayer films exhibited a remarkably improved stable relaxation behavior than PCL (or PEO-b-PCL). The characteristic exponent x and kx values were plotted vesus the A∞/A0 values. Mostly increasing characteristic exponent x and kx values with increasing A∞/A0 values were observed. For the PCL and PVPh monolayers, the xkx values were detected to increase with increasing A∞/A0 values. The xkx values of previously published stereoregular and different molecular weight PMMAs were also demonstrated to become larger with the increasing A∞/A0 values.","PeriodicalId":271349,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Composites and Biodegradable Polymers","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134151613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, trial and error methods were used to determine the optimal ratio between percentage of treatment agent and composite’s properties in the past. Hence, this research focuses on the optimization and validation of coupling agent percentage with properties of novel Polylactic Acid (PLA) / Nypa Fruticans Husks (NFH) biocomposite films via Central Composite Design (CCD) Method. Nypa Fruticans husks was grounded to obtain particulate form and mixed with Polylactic acid (PLA) using solvent casting method. Due to the different polarity between Nypa Fruticans Husks and Polylactic Acid, 3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane was used to enhance the properties of the composite films. Central composite design (CCD) method was used to determine the optimized percentage of 3- Aminopropyltriethoxysilane and analysis of variance various (ANOVA) was performed to develop mathematical model to predict the tensile strength value in the range of factors in this research. Apart from that, the enzymatic biodegradation was also performed to investigate the composite’s degradation rate. It was found that, the incorporation of Nypa Fruticans Husks decreased the tensile strength and elongation at break, whereas the modulus of elasticity and degradation rate increased. However, composite films treated with 3% of 3-APE showed increment pattern in tensile strength and modulus of elasticity but decreased in elongation at break and degradation rate, respectively. The enhancement of the mechanical properties after treated with 3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane was supported by the SEM micro-graphs and FTIR analysis.","PeriodicalId":271349,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Composites and Biodegradable Polymers","volume":"105 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121506869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
